[Bluez-users] Can't get headset to pair

[Bluez-users] Can't get headset to pair

[TD]

Trying to get a bluetooth headset (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/123000) to
work with bluez, so that I can access it from alsa.  Running Debian lenny
(2.6.22 kernel), bluez 3.24.

With the headset in pairing mode:
laptop:~# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
	00:02:5B:02:64:9D	VBH-006
laptop:~# hcitool cc 00:02:5B:02:64:9D
laptop:~#

System log reports:
Mar  6 00:44:19 laptop NetworkManager: <debug> [1204764259.628237]
nm_hal_device_added(): New device added (hal udi is
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/bluetooth_acl_25b02649d'). 
Mar  6 00:44:22 laptop NetworkManager: <debug> [1204764262.493448]
nm_hal_device_removed(): Device removed (hal udi is
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/bluetooth_acl_25b02649d').

The light on the hands-free doesn't start to flash, indicating that pairing
didn't take place.  My /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf contains:
pin_helper /etc/bluetooth/feed-pin.sh;

and /etc/bluetooth/feed-pin.sh contains:
#!/bin/sh
echo "PIN:0000"

which runs fine as a shell script.

My normal user .asoundrc contains:
pcm.bluetooth {
   type bluetooth
   device 00:02:5B:02:64:9D
}

Have I missed something?  Do I need to pair the device before it will work?

TD

Re: [Bluez-users] Can't get headset to pair

[Brian Sammon]

The only way I could find to initiate pairing with my headphones was by 
following the instructions in http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/Bonding in the 
"dbus-send" section.

I'd be interested in hearing if there's another way (that doesn't involve 
writing a program).

Also, make sure that there's a passkey/auth agent running (such as 
bluetooth-applet of bluez-gnome)

[Bluez-users] How to change the Hci packet size?

[Eng. Waleed Al-Rashoud]

Hi, what it the largest packet size for the Hci? 
Is it a configuration in the BlueZ or is it a configuration in the adapter?
thanks

don't bother in trying. The firmware inside the Bluetooth chip is  
responsible for doing this job. It will pick the packet type that is  
best suitable.

Thanks.. but I remember something in the Bluetooth standard like 'continue' 
flag in each HCI packet.. Who is responsible to fill this?
Thanks again marcel..

the L2CAP layer will fill this in.
