Defer Setup is quite fundamental to be able to authorize connection properly otherwise we would have to accept the connection upfront to be able to identify who is connecting, L2CAP has the authorization pending as response for this very reason and apparently your headset cannot handle it properly: < ACL Data TX: Handle 21 flags 0x00 dlen 16 [hci0] 22.030160 L2CAP: Connection Response (0x03) ident 2 len 8 Destination CID: 64 Source CID: 65 Result: Connection pending (0x0001) Status: Authorization pending (0x0002) But note that bluetoothd accepts the connection almost immediately in the next frame (probably because the device is trusted): < ACL Data TX: Handle 21 flags 0x00 dlen 16 [hci0] 22.030595 L2CAP: Connection Response (0x03) ident 2 len 8 Destination CID: 64 Source CID: 65 Result: Connection successful (0x0000) Status: No further information available (0x0000) This is part of the core specification, unfortunately it doesn't seems that any test of the testing specification do actually test it, so chances are that the headset could qualify just because PTS never send authorization/connection pending status. -- Luiz Augusto von Dentz -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
