Re: [Bluez-users] implementing security mode 2 or 3

[Marco Trudel <mtrudel@gmx.ch>]

Thank you, this works great with a 2.6.11 kernel.
Unfortunately I'm bound to kernel 2.4.26 or 2.6.7.
2.4.26 doesn't work. It just let's remote devices connect...
Do you know if 2.6.7 will?

If not, which part of the kernel has to be fixed? Is it a part of bluez?
Can this encryption be reached in another way?

Where are the link keys saved? I'm unable to find them.

Is there something that has to be paid attention to if I do encryption like 
this? Does the password/Dongle/... influence the encryption strength?

regards
Marco
