List,
I am trying to connect an iPAQ using bluetooth to an FC4 unit. I can
run hciconfig and get recognition of the usb bluetooth dongle. When I
run "hcitool scan" I do not see the iPAQ. I can recognize the Linux
system from the iPAQ, but I can not get the iPAQ to bond to Fedora.
I have modified the hcdi.conf file as follows:
pin_helper /usr/bin/bluepin; was uncommmented
I am getting an error in the message log when the iPAQ tries to bond:
Jan 22 21:47:18 dev hcid[4717]: pin_code_request (sba=00:0B:0D:08:DE:18,
dba=00:02:C7:18:DD:5A)
Jan 22 21:47:18 dev hcid[5396]: PIN helper exited abnormally with code
256
I googled on the error code and found a post that advised the use of
a replacement script for /usr/bin/bluepin as:
---------------------------
#!/bin/bash
PIN=`cat /etc/bluetooth/pin`
echo PIN:$PIN
---------------------------
Using the replacement causes hcid to look at itself for the pin and certainly resolved the log entry, but did not resolve the error. I still am unable to connect.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg Ennis
