I sent a debugging patch to bug #268502, which installs the bluetooth network protocol code from (Hardy's) 2.6.24 into a current Ubuntu kernel, which makes this problem go away. (The problem is not present in 2.6.24 - that kernel doesn't need any of the "hcitool" commands; "pand" is enough).
I also tried with various combinations of kernels, both USB bluetooth drivers, and different bluez package versions, and narrowed it down. Altogether it strongly suggests the problem is caused by a change in the bluetooth network protocol code somehere between Hardy's 2.6.24 and Intrepid's 2.6.27, as opposed to any of the userspace packages or bluetooth hardware drivers. It's possible that it's been fixed already in upstream kernels and hasn't yet made it's way into an Ubuntu package kernel. If so, that fix would be good to cherrypick. If not, some bisecting may find the cause. -- bluetooth network PAN fails to connect to mobile phone https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/336012 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
