Re: [Bluez-users] Logitech Traveler Headset. pin never seen and i am never asked.

[John McDougald <jmcdougald@kirkiss.ky>]

I have the same problem.  It appears that the latest version of hcid no
longer recognizes the pin_helper definition inside the hcid.conf file.
As I am also running Debian (unstable) I hoped that the bluez-pin
package would be "linked" to the hcitool cc xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
application and would pop up a window allowing me to enter a password
during the pairing phase.  However, there is a dependancy problem and
the bluez-pin package cannot be installed.  I crammed it in (using dpkg
-i --force-all) and the bluez-pin package installed and the hcid
application showed that a pin application was registered, but, when I
tried to pair I was never presented with a dialog box requesting a pin
and the pairing failed.

I should mention that this logitech headset (HS04 V01) pairs with this
notebook when I boot into windowsXP so there is no hardware problem.

I am hoping that I am just an "apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade"
away from a working bluetooth headset }:-) as the "break" with the
pin_helper option in hcid.conf must have broken a lot of working
bluetooth configurations.
