Latest working kernel version: not sure, hci_usb? Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.29-rc2/btusb Distribution: debian/unstable Hardware Environment: macbook5,1 I'm trying to connect to the internet with 3G and my cell phone, and have set up /dev/rfcomm0 appropriately (this used to work) but any attempts to connect give -EHOSTDOWN. Same happens for "sdptool browse" and similar. The cell phone is not at fault, it works fine from my N810.
Actually, hci_usb on 2.6.28 doesn't seem to work either, I changed laptops recently, I'm probably remembering the old device. # hcitool scan Scanning ... Inquiry failed: Connection timed out # sdptool browse Inquiring ... Inquiry failed btusb is a little better, it seems to at least find a device... The device might need firmware? One of the interface descriptors is a little odd? Bus 004 Device 003: ID 05ac:8213 Apple, Inc.

Works after resetting with hciconfig hci0 reset. Odd.
And indeed _stays_ working even after rebooting.
If this is still seen on modern kernels then please re-open/update
Hmm I don't even own the machine any more :)
