I'm trying to make a connection from my Edison (linux 4.19) to my android phone (nap), but it seems Edison bnep0 gets removed immediately after creation. How can help me diagnose this? Initially I tried connman. The bluetooth service appears, but when I try to connect I get: connmanctl> connect bluetooth_43341B001FAC_C462EA01AF74 Error /net/connman/service/bluetooth_43341B001FAC_C462EA01AF74: Input/output error For testing I switched to the bluez test-network.py script: root@edison:~# python3 ./test-network.py C4:62:EA:01:AF:74 nap Traceback (most recent call last): File "./test-network.py", line 42, in <module> iface = network.Connect(service) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 70, in __call__ return self._proxy_method(*args, **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 145, in __call__ **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 651, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.bluez.Error.Failed: Input/output error Using btmon to log while running above script: < ACL Data TX: Handle 12 flags 0x00 dlen 11 #96 [hci0] 2974.047858 Channel: 78 len 7 [PSM 15 mode 0] {chan 0} BNEP: Control (0x01|0) Setup Conn Req (0x01) Size: 0x02 Dst: 0x1116(NAP) Src: 0x1115(PANU)

And indeed, doing the same from another computer (Ubuntu linux 4.18) I get only the kernel and udev add events, the connection is established and the remove events appear only after pressing Ctrl-C What could this be?
