Hi, I found the problem: it was of my own making. I had edited /etc/default/bluetooth to include a call to hidd, according to http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/hardware-peripherals/126054-enable-bluetooth-keyboard-boot.html Removing this file solved the problem, and I can now connect to the device at start-up, which was as I recall the reason for the change in the first place.
