https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210205 Bug ID: 210205 Summary: Repairing for btle-devices fail Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: Ubuntu 5.10.0-3-generic Hardware: All OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Bluetooth Assignee: linux-bluetooth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: marko.lavikainen@xxxxxxxxxx Regression: No Created attachment 293677 --> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=293677&action=edit Log from bluetoothctl I have recently bought two Bluetooth devices: - Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 3600 (requires confirmation for pairing) - Microsoft Surface Keyboard (requires passcode for pairing) Both devices pair with the system and work fine. However, at random times (maybe when idling) both devices change their mac-addresses to a new one. This is a problem, because pairing disconnects, and bluez sees those devices as new devices. Thus I need to manually repair them and... well, it should not be like that. I did make a bit crude python-script that communicates with 'bluetoothctl' and repairs the mouse whenever it is discovered as a new device. But that does not work with the keyboard because of the passcode requirement. I attached some log from 'bluetoothctl'. Is it possible to detect in the device driver that newly discovered device is actually the same but with different mac-address and repair it automatically? Bluetoothctl version is 5.53 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
