Re: Encrypting problem while sending data via bluetooth

[Steffen Becker <steffen.becker@tu-ilmenau.de>]

Thank you very much, this helped me!
Now everything looks fine on the screen of the "PC2".

But now i got another problem regarding to this:
I use a third PC with the "BPA500" (it's for bluetooth sniffing).
When i use again the command

PC1: # echo "test" > /dev/rfcomm0

then the BPA500 software says:
"100% Payload/CRC Errors"
and it can't go after "start_encrypt_req" (that's the last Opcode in the 
Link Management Protocol).

That's why i still think i have an encryption problem.
But the manpage only shows me how to ENable the encryption.

So i hope somebody can help me a second time.

Regards,
Steffen
