Re: [Bluez-devel] Sniff mode issues regarding Sony Ericsson headsets: kernel patch proposal.

Hi Marcel

I never said that Bluez was screwing up anything.
But as usual, there are compromises to make between sticking close to the standard and having good interoperability, which usually involves some level of workaround :-)

I am seriously sick of this f*cked up hardware. What is it? My guess
would be a TI chip.

...and you won !!

Make it two separate patches. We can send the exit sniff mode command
that is not a problem. I still don't like it, because it is the job of
the Link Manager to do this.

Will do.

You didn't answer to question 2: what's your choice ? (btw to question 1 neither, but i guess that means a 'yes' :-)

I would first have to know which host controller it is, before I
actually think about adding something like this.

I dug deeper in this second problem.
In fact it has not been solved by the 2.6.17-rc5 kernel.

I misinterpreted the result as i inadvertedly changed bluetooth dongle at the same time.
So issue with wrong pin code only arise whith Sony Erisson(TI) + ST + bluez.
Sony Erisson(TI) + BCM + bluez works.

As you said issue is clearly seems to come from the hardware (LMP).

For the sniff mode setting you have to use SOL_BLUETOOTH since I will
remove all the other SOL_* and consolidate them.

hmmm... not sure i really see what you mean. :-(

Don't use SOL_L2CAP or SOL_RFCOMM anymore. They will be all
SOL_BLUETOOTH since there are no different between the socket options
itself.

Yeah sure but from the kernel point of view there is a a level parameter passed to setsockopt/getsockopt which is already ignored... or maybe you were just speeking about user space ?
