Hi Marcel,

Thanks! That did the trick and it installed without error.

So, if I may be so bold as to ask a little more help :-), I now have a configuration that almost works. I can plug a DBT-120 dongle into the linux

Apologies for top posting previous reply. The following is output from hcidump following the hcitool cc command

So it looks like there's a problem with pin exchange. I'm not familiar enough with hcidump to be sure which unit is complaining about the pin. Both should be using 0000, for time being, and that pin worked with the same dongle from a Windows laptop.   My pin helper is a shell script that simply contains:

#!/bin/sh
echo -n PIN:0000

I've tried various enabling and disable auth and encrypt and also tried setting security to none. In the latter case, the connection attempt times out.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
