A strange thing has just happened. I plugged the dongle in to get some information from it, and when I ran hciconfig, it showed as "up running":
hciconfig -a hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: USB BD Address: 00:1F:81:00:01:1C ACL MTU: 1021:4 SCO MTU: 180:1 UP RUNNING PSCAN RX bytes:754 acl:0 sco:0 events:26 errors:0 TX bytes:368 acl:0 sco:0 commands:25 errors:0 Features: 0xff 0x3e 0x09 0x76 0x80 0x01 0x00 0x80 Packet type: DM1 DM3 DM5 DH1 DH3 DH5 HV1 HV2 HV3 Link policy: RSWITCH HOLD SNIFF Link mode: SLAVE ACCEPT Name: 'Accel-OB2' Class: 0x4a0100 Service Classes: Networking, Capturing, Telephony Device Class: Computer, Uncategorized HCI Version: 2.0 (0x3) Revision: 0x44 LMP Version: 2.0 (0x3) Subversion: 0x3 Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio (10) I don't know why that has happened. I normally just get a timeout error, so it looks like this problem is not always consistent. I have not updated my system, since I last reported HCI Timeout. My mobile phone is now temporarily visible to my computer, but I cannot see the computer from the mobile phone, so I am unable to initiate a transfer from the mobile phone. I don't know how to take the device out of invisibility mode, and when I try, it will probably revert back to giving HCI timeout, but hey ... this is the first time I have seen this half working since I upgraded bluez.
