Bug#461730: linux-2.6: Cannot pair with bluetooth headset with 2.6.21+
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.21-6
Severity: normal
I recently tried and failed to pair with a bluetooth headset that used
to work some time ago. Specifically, any attempt to establish a
connection to the device (with "hcitool cc") would appear to be
successful, with hci_create_connection() returning 0, yet no connection
could be found.
After a few joyful hours of downgrading and rebooting, it turns out that
the kernel is to blame. I'm getting this erratic behavior with
2.6.21-2-k7 and 2.6.23-1-686, but not with 2.6.18-5-k7. (I couldn't
test 2.6.20-1-k7, due to the PATA bug.)
I'm reluctant at this point to spend more time compiling/rebooting on my
own if it may turn out to be useless after all. However, if you need
more information and/or want me to try stuff out, I'd be glad to do my
part. Just let me know how I should proceed from here.
