I installed

   http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/bluetooth/bluez-4.79.tar.gz + hciops_encrypt.patch

but the patch does not work for me. For verification I downloaded

   http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/bluetooth/bluez-4.77.tar.gz

and compiled/installed it the same way (without the patch) and the connection works.

I did the same using bluez-4.78 with the result that both my keyboard and mouse failed to connect.
