Hi,

I just got a no name dongle(CSR chipset) which I failed to pair with my headset. I have no problem pairing the headset with my t68i and I have no problem pairing with the t68i using the dongle.

I can see the headset but "hcitool info" or "hcitool cc" would both fail.

Does the dongle(i.e. firmware on it) play a role in whether it can pair with a headset ?

When issuing "hciconfig -a", I don't see the Audio service class which I have no idea if it matters or not.

thanks for any help in advance.

regards

gary

Sometime ago, I have the same problem with my headset and usb bluetooth dongle. I solved that by force Security Mode 3 on my usb dongle which can be reached by using
hciconfig hci0 auth
hciconfig hci0 encrypt
maybe you can try it. Or you can give the result of
hcidump -x -V
when you do
hcitool cc ...
this list has lots of expert here.

if this is ubuntu (maybe debian too), make sure you install bluez-passkey-gnome. It's a distro bug... he default hcid.conf needs it but the package doesn't require it.
