[Bluez-users] Converting a PC in a multiradio access point

[Esteban Monturus]

	I want to configure a PC to work as multiradio access point. In order to 
do that, I have plugged two USB dongles to a PC and entered the command 
"pand --listen --role PANU". When I establish the first PAN connection from 
another computer the bnep0 interface appears in both PC's and there is no 
trouble. Without terminating this connection, I try to establish a new one 
with the other dongle of the acces-point-computer and it fails. In the 
/var/log/messages file of the access-point-computer appears the following 
error message: pand[7546]: Connection failed. File exists(17). It is not 
relevant whether the computer I try to connect from is the same as in the 
first PAN connection. I don't understand this limitation because if both 
connections are established from the computer that has two dongles 
everything works well.

	Could somebody tell me what is happening?

	Thank you.

send in the output of "hciconfig -a" and run "hcidump -X -V" when you
try to connect.
