From what I remember, there were a few inconsistencies
in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf. I was playing with a Nokia E65...
options {
autoinit yes;
security auto;
pairing multi;
passkey "XXXX";
}
device {
name "%h-%d";
class 0x120104;
iscan enable; pscan enable;
discovto 0;
lm accept;
lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;
}
where XXXX is the magic code you need to input of the phone. Once you're
paired, it doesn't ask again.
