Package: bluez-utils
Version: 3.1-3.1
Severity: important
Whenever I try to discover the local system (Debian computer) from a remote
system (mobile device, or other computer) it can't be found. After
some research I found out that the ISCAN mode is disabled:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# hciconfig hci0
hci0: Type: USB
BD Address: 00:0E:6D:3B:31:AE ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8
UP RUNNING PSCAN
RX bytes:3190 acl:16 sco:0 events:208 errors:0
TX bytes:1840 acl:17 sco:0 commands:105 errors:0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
But according to my hcid.conf file it should be enabled by default for
all devices, I'm using the prepackaged hcid.conf :
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# cat /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
#
# HCI daemon configuration file.
#
# HCId options
options {
# Automatically initialize new devices
autoinit yes;
# Security Manager mode
# none - Security manager disabled
# auto - Use local PIN for incoming connections
# user - Always ask user for a PIN
#
security auto;
# Pairing mode
# none - Pairing disabled
# multi - Allow pairing with already paired devices
# once - Pair once and deny successive attempts
pairing multi;
# Default PIN code for incoming connections
passkey "1234";
}
# Default settings for HCI devices
device {
# Local device name
# %d - device id
# %h - host name
name "%h-%d";
# Local device class
class 0x3e0100;
# Default packet type
#pkt_type DH1,DM1,HV1;
# Inquiry and Page scan
pscan enable; iscan enable;
# Default link mode
# none - no specific policy
# accept - always accept incoming connections
# master - become master on incoming connections,
# deny role switch on outgoing connections
lm accept;
# Default link policy
# none - no specific policy
# rswitch - allow role switch
# hold - allow hold mode
# sniff - allow sniff mode
# park - allow park mode
lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In an effort to make the Debian computer visible to other devices
I'm running the following command:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# hciconfig hci0 piscan
# hciconfig hci0
hci0: Type: USB
BD Address: 00:0E:6D:3B:31:AE ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8
UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN
RX bytes:3294 acl:16 sco:0 events:221 errors:0
TX bytes:1878 acl:17 sco:0 commands:112 errors:0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
But after a while the ISCAN mode gets disabled and I must keep running
hciconfig to make the computer visible again.
I have tried with two USB-BLUETOOTH dongles of different brands
and the problem persists.
I have also tried it in sid and etch with the same results.
