I'm sorry if this is not the right place to post this as the wiki and
sourceforge project seems to be outdated.
On gentoo box a default network.conf file is installed from the
sources in /etc/bluetooth.
The file itself has no problem but having avahi-autoipd as script,
while in other distributions this is unset, evidences a problem in the
function bnep_exec in network/common.c
If the script does not exists or bnep_exec fails for other reasons,
hcid crashes for a very trivial mistake in the log error call.
Here a simple patch to fix this issue:
--- network/common.c 2009-01-23 15:52:12.000000000 +0100
+++ network/common.c 2009-01-23 15:45:47.000000000 +0100
@@ -235,7 +235,7 @@
if (!g_spawn_async(NULL, (char **) argv, NULL, flags,
bnep_setup, NULL,
&pid, NULL)) {
- error("Unable to execute %s %s", *argv[0], *argv[1]);
+ error("Unable to execute %s %s", argv[0], argv[1]);
return -EINVAL;
}
I know that 3.36 should be the last in the 3.* series, however as
there are a lot of distros using it, and as the same problem could
affect 4.* series too i preferred to report this upstream.
The last thing, again about network.conf shipped file, the line:
#Disable=Connection,Server
should be
#Disable=Connection;Server
as who ignores the syntax of the conf file may not guess to use the
";" instead of "," .
