Hi Marcel, Thank you for your reply. I use kernel 2.4.22 on an axis devboard82. The bluez stack is not the latest(PAN, SDP, utils, libs are still seperate packages), because I had problems porting later versions to the devboard. But except the pairing problem at first contact it works perfectly. Except the PIN (it's a static one at server side) there is no further authentification necessary. Security mode 2 or 3? What do you mean? Can I check it? When I try to connect to the server at first contact, I have to enter the PIN(client side) and after entering the right pin I get the message :"Authentification failed."
