Heya, There's a bunch of corner cases that the autopair plugin doesn't handle and that we used to handle in gnome-bluetooth with BlueZ 4.x. 1) First is the case of the PS3 BD Remote that will reject authentication when you try to pair to it. gnome-bluetooth knows not to pair with it. > <!-- Sony PlayStation 3 Remote Control --> > <device oui="00:19:C1:" name="BD Remote Control" pin="NULL"/> > <device oui="00:1E:3D:" name="BD Remote Control" pin="NULL"/> > <device oui="00:06:F5:" name="BD Remote Control" pin="NULL"/> Is there a way to say "we can't actually pair" when the client requested pairing already? Or is that considered a security problem? 2) The second case is pairing this "funny" keyboard that's the iCade controller. In gnome-bluetooth, we had special code to generate only joystick movements for the pairing, rather than hard to determine buttons, so we'd end up with a 6-digit pin using only 1 through 4. > <!-- ION iCade Game Controller --> > <device name="iCade" type="keyboard" pin="ICADE"/> 3) We have a whole list of GPS that don't use present themselves as anything special apart from the name. Most use "0000", but some use things like "NAVMAN" or "12345678" > <!-- http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560315#c20 --> > <device oui="00:02:5B:" name="Pharos iGPS-BT" pin="12345678"/> > > <!-- https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613698 --> > <device oui="00:0C:A5:" name="NAVMAN GPS ONE" pin="NAVMAN"/> 4) Audio devices will mostly already be supported by the autopair code (yay!), though we have a few stragglers, most notably this speaker that can use random pincode, as long as they're only 4 digits in length: > <!-- http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583651 --> > <device type="audio" oui="00:1A:80:" name="CMT-DH5BT" pin="max:4"/> 5) Printers are missing from the list, that should be an easy fix. I'll try and send patches for cases 2 through 4, using a static table in the autopair plugin. If that's not acceptable, I'll create a new higher-priority plugin that handles those corner cases.
