I mean to add before I hit send that I had an opportunity to try all of this out on my laptop yesterday (so far all of the problems I have been reporting here have been with my PC which has a: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0a5c:4500 Broadcom Corp. BCM2046B1 USB 2.0 Hub (part of BCM2046 Bluetooth) Having my mouse and even the LG headset (which has been the most problematic on my PC) on my laptop worked flawlessly -- without even having to mess with any of this master/slave stuff. I was in a teleconference with the headset for just over an hour and was using the mouse at the same time without a hiccup. If only my PC would work as reliably. The chipset in my laptop is a: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0a5c:217f Broadcom Corp. Bluetooth Controller What is interesting is that I can't seem to discover much about the state of the adapter in that machine: $ hcitool dev Devices: hci0 70:F3:95:3E:92:34 $ hcitool hci0 lm returns nothing. When I do connect the mouse using the bluetooth-applet's Connect menu for the device: $ hcitool hci0 lm $ hcitool con Connections: > ACL 00:1F:20:0F:30:6A handle 11 state 1 lm MASTER After turning on the headset: $ hcitool hci0 lm $ hcitool con Connections: > ACL 00:18:6B:E5:4F:7E handle 12 state 1 lm MASTER AUTH ENCRYPT > ACL 00:1F:20:0F:30:6A handle 11 state 1 lm MASTER I wonder why it worked so well on my laptop and doesn't work so well on my PC? Cheers, b.
