Hi, I think I found a bug: 1. Have iPhone and Linux machine running latest BlueZ on latest kernel. iPhone have random mac "ABC". 2. Connect from BlueZ to iPhone, pair with PIN. iPhone real mac address "XXX" is being shown right now. I can connect to it form bluetoothctl using "XXX" address, btmon shows it's random mac address "ABC" in connect request. 3. Restart bluetooth on iPhone. It's random mac is rotated to "BCD". Try to connect from bluetoothctl using "XXX", btomon still shows old mac address "ABC" in connect request, therefore it'll fail and will be unable to connect. That's a bug is, right ? BlueZ should be smart, and for paired device it should start a "Selective Connection Establishment Procedure" instead of "Auto Connection Establishment Procedure", as described in BT spec 4.2 [Vol 3, Part C] 9.3.7 . If I now manually start discovery before calling connect BlueZ would pick new iPhone address, "BCD" and use it for connection if I try to connect to "XXX". Is that something that should be fixed ? If yes I'll spend some time on it. -- 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
