bluetooth mouse fails to pair after being disconnected

bluetooth mouse fails to pair after being disconnected

[Bruce Hill]

If this bt mouse is disconnected it will not connect again. This problem has
persisted from bluez-4.98 through 4.101. Presently 4.101 installed with
test-programs and usb. The mouse was working with 4.101 until booting into
kernel 3.5-rc1. It did not work in that kernel. Once booted back into
3.0.35-tuxonice it will not pair.

And hcitool cc <device> just returns to a prompt:
