"Can't get device information: Too many links"
Hi,
I have a problem connecting both an Apple wireless keyboard and mouse to an USB Bluetooth adapter on Ubuntu Gutsy (AMD64). I can connect either the mouse or keyboard, but not both. The error message I get is "Can't get device information: Too many links".
Unfortunately I didn't find any explanation on Bluez error messages. What's going on?

So far I haven't received any answer. Is this mailing list the right platform to ask a question like the one below? I'm looking for an explanation of Bluez error messages.
