Public bug reported:
I use a GPS mouse which sends its data in ASCII format via a bluetooth
serial link to my laptop. The bluetooth capability is provided by an USB
dongle. This worked under Hardy, it stopped working under Intrepid.
(Intrepid) Kernel: 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP
lsusb of the dongle: ID 1131:1004 Integrated System Solution Corp. Bluetooth
Device
Commands issued on Hardy and Intrepid resulting in the same output:
m...@hardy:~$ sudo hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:02:C7:7D:F5:17 BlueGPS 7DF517
m...@hardy:~$ sudo rfcomm bind /dev/rfcomm0 00:02:C7:7D:F5:17 1
m...@hardy:~$ ls -l /dev/rfcomm0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 216, 0 2008-12-14 23:15 /dev/rfcomm0
If I try to open that device (e.g. in Python: a =
open("/dev/rfcomm0","r") ), the function call is successful under Hardy
and I can read the ASCII data stream. Under Intrepid, I get an IOError
when I try to open the device.
The only hint in the Intrepid syslog is:
Dec 14 23:25:56 intrepid bluetoothd[6095]: Adapter /org/bluez/hci0 has been
enabled
Dec 14 23:25:56 intrepid bluetoothd[6095]: Starting security manager 0
Dec 14 23:28:26 intrepid kernel: [ 496.724082] hci_cmd_task: hci0 command tx
