Just FYI ....
    It seems as though most of my woes are over.
    As it turns out, I was running the debian-etch version of bluez .. 
which seems to be a bit stale, and still buggy.

    I recompiled based on the 3.1.tar.gz packages from 
bluez.sourceforge.net and everything seems working much better.

My problem right now is that the /etc/init.d/bluetooth script doesn't 
work. I went through and fixed paths to /usr/local/sbin (from simply 
/usr/sbin) .. It produces no log output and doesn't start any daemons, 
just a quiet exit. Any thoughts would be appreciated. When I run the 
most important commands by hand, they work fine (so it must be failing 
before trying to execute these commands):
    start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/local/sbin/hcid 
    start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/local/sbin/sdpd
    (I think I have kernel rfcomm [krfcommd])

Thanks
