recently upgraded to 5.59 and still cannot pair a keyboard. I posted
again to https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues/55. If I can perform
more diagnostics, please advise. I would really like to be able to
pair and use a keyboard with my RPi. If it is a driver issue, please
help me point it out so it can be fixed there. If it is bluez, please
let me know how I can help.
