[Bug 284994] Re: bluetooth-wizard unable to pair to fixed pin devices

[roberto.zinelli]

Hello

I have found a temporarily solution for pairing keyboard less device
like GPS unit.

1) First operations is finding the GPS device address with this command:

hcitool scan
Scanning ...

        00:13:F1:01:40:AE       BT-GPS 0140AE

        00:18:8D:11:5F:F3       Zinux6680

	
Record the BT-GPS address, this is used later.

2) Enable the authentication on the pc blue-tooth dongle.

sudo hciconfig hci0 auth

3)Create a connection with the device
sudo hcitool cc 00:13:F1:01:40:AE

Now a popup menu request the pin for the device, insert it.

Now if you right click on the blue-tooth-applet  and select preferences
you see the GPS paired.

Good luck.
