Description Jonathan Ernst 2008-11-13 08:56:25 UTC
Similar to : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560315

Because of the new fixed random+hardcoded pin, this device cannot be paired
anymore :

root@localhost: ~ # sudo hcitool scan
Scanning ...
        00:18:96:D0:66:55       GW-GPS-009

default pin: 
0000

(will try to get more informations on the device)
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2008-11-13 10:42:20 UTC
Could you also give the output of "hcitool inq" for that device?
Comment 2 Olaf Greeny 2009-03-06 00:12:26 UTC
I have got the same device, hcitool inq says:
eeepc:~$ hcitool inq
Inquiring ...
	00:18:96:D1:54:F4	clock offset: 0x53df	class: 0x001f00

Hope this helps. I think it makes most sense to allow the user to override i.e. chose the BT PIN; the current method of posting errors + patching fixes is not only annoying to both user and developer, it also takes time - I will now have to wait for months until I will be able to use my beloved GPS mouse ;) thanks anyway for your help.
