Description Sebastian Spaeth 2008-11-13 10:50:14 UTC
Please describe the problem:
There is no possibility to enter a specific PIN in the wizard which will make
all BT devices fail that use a fixed PIN.

My device is:
        00:11:67:80:6E:B7       eGPS-397
        00:11:67:80:6E:B7       clock offset: 0x546f    class: 0x000000
and uses "0000" as fixed PIN.


Steps to reproduce:
In my specific case, I select the "setup new device" from the bluetooth-applet.
Select "eGPS-397" which is my BT GPS device. Next the "connecting" page comes
up with a brief flash of some "type in random PIN" or something. It dissappears
in a fraction of a second without giving me the change to interact leading to
the page "pairing failed".

Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
