I have a particular device that requires an IRK from BlueZ during pairing.
To my limited understanding this is wrong since my Bluetooth adapter uses a
public address by default, but I have to live with it in any case. I've
found that turning on privacy mode using `btmgmt privacy on` allows BlueZ to
pair with the device. However, it also prevents reconnecting to any
already-paired BLE device, even if privacy mode was enabled when I paired
with it.
This is the sequence of events:
1. Pair with a BLE device.
2. Power off the adapter, run `btmgmt privacy on`, and power the adapter
back on.
3. Connect to the device. The connection fails with the status "Connection
Failed to be Established" in the LE Read Remote Used Features HCI event.
First of all, btmgmt is mainly intended for testing. Its privacy command
creates a new random IRK every time so you can't really use it to create
persistent pairings. You could get a little bit better behavior by
giving the command a third parameter which btmgmt will interpret as a
hex encoded IRK value. This is still just a "testing" style solution
however.
That clears things up a lot. Thanks for your help.
Tom
