Otherwise no pairing. As above, Simple Pairing is not possible, but it does not appear to even attempt to fall back to legacy mode.

Agreed...my comment has to do with the fact that one MUST use CreatePairedDevice (at least at this point) to pair. CreateDevice does not even attempt to pair (or at least that is the case if SSP is not available). If you use CreatePairedDevice, you must supply an object path (valid or invalid) for the agent. Therefore, as far as I am concerned, there is no real point to registering an agent at all, given that I must supply the path to CreatePairedDevice in any event. On the other hand, if CreateDevice should trigger pairing and actually does, and if it can fall back to some default legacy pairing mode, well and good. No agent needed at all. > I have to fixup the passkey-agent.c example, but there was simply no > time. I will be happy to send you mine to save you the effort, unless it totally sucks.
