>what socket option is your client program setting? Do you happen to know that. Would make it a lot easier to track this down. Hi Marcel, I'm using the bluetoothd daemon at startup and it crashes as soon as the dongle is inserted. To test the behaviour I removed the dongle and restart the daemon with # bluetoothd -n -d bluetoothd[4450]: Bluetooth daemon 4.101 bluetoothd[4450]: src/main.c:parse_config() parsing main.conf bluetoothd[4450]: src/main.c:parse_config() discovto=0 bluetoothd[4450]: src/main.c:parse_config() pairto=0 bluetoothd[4450]: src/main.c:parse_config() pageto=8192 bluetoothd[4450]: src/main.c:parse_config() auto_to=60 bluetoothd[4450]: src/main.c:parse_config() name=%h-%d bluetoothd[4450]: src/main.c:parse_config() class=0x000100 bluetoothd[4450]: src/main.c:parse_config() Key file does not have key 'DeviceID' bluetoothd[4450]: Starting SDP server bluetoothd[4450]: src/plugin.c:plugin_init() Loading builtin plugins bluetoothd[4450]: src/plugin.c:add_plugin() Loading pnat plugin bluetoothd[4450]: src/plugin.c:add_plugin() Loading audio plugin bluetoothd[4450]: src/plugin.c:add_plugin() Loading input plugin bluetoothd[4450]: src/plugin.c:add_plugin() Loading serial plugin bluetoothd[4450]: src/plugin.c:add_plugin() Loading network plugin bluetoothd[4450]: src/plugin.c:add_plugin() Loading service plugin bluetoothd[4450]: src/plugin.c:add_plugin() Loading health plugin bluetoothd[4450]: src/plugin.c:add_plugin() Loading hciops plugin bluetoothd[4450]: src/plugin.c:add_plugin() Loading mgmtops plugin bluetoothd[4450]: src/plugin.c:add_plugin() Loading formfactor plugin bluetoothd[4450]: src/plugin.c:add_plugin() Loading storage plugin bluetoothd[4450]: src/plugin.c:add_plugin() Loading adaptername plugin bluetoothd[4450]: src/plugin.c:add_plugin() Loading wiimote plugin bluetoothd[4450]: src/plugin.c:add_plugin() Loading maemo6 plugin bluetoothd[4450]: src/plugin.c:plugin_init() Loading plugins /usr/lib64/bluetooth/plugins bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/service.c:register_interface() path /org/bluez/4450/any bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/service.c:register_interface() Registered interface org.bluez.Service on path /org/bluez/4450/any bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/maemo6.c:maemo6_init() init maemo6 plugin bluetoothd[4450]: health/hdp.c:hdp_manager_start() Starting Health manager bluetoothd[4450]: network/manager.c:read_config() /etc/bluetooth/network.conf: Key file does not have key 'DisableSecurity' bluetoothd[4450]: network/manager.c:read_config() Config options: Security=true bluetoothd[4450]: input/manager.c:input_manager_init() input.conf: Key file does not have key 'IdleTimeout' bluetoothd[4450]: audio/manager.c:audio_manager_init() audio.conf: Key file does not have key 'AutoConnect' bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/pnat.c:pnat_init() Setup Phonet AT (DUN) plugin bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/hciops.c:hciops_init() bluetoothd[4450]: Bluetooth Management interface initialized bluetoothd[4450]: Failed to open RFKILL control device bluetoothd[4450]: src/main.c:main() Entering main loop bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:mgmt_event() cond 1 bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:mgmt_event() Received 12 bytes from management socket bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:mgmt_cmd_complete() bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:read_version_complete() version 1 revision 4 bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:mgmt_event() cond 1 bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:mgmt_event() Received 11 bytes from management socket bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:mgmt_cmd_complete() then I insert the dongle bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:mgmt_event() cond 1 bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:mgmt_event() Received 6 bytes from management socket bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:add_controller() Added controller 0 bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:mgmt_event() cond 1 bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:mgmt_event() Received 289 bytes from management socket bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:mgmt_cmd_complete() bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:read_info_complete() hci0 addr 00:09:DD:XX: XX:XX version 3 manufacturer 10 class 0x000000 bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:read_info_complete() hci0 settings bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:read_info_complete() hci0 name CSR -

If I use a working kernel the bluetooth daemon continues its startup and the next lines are bluetoothd[2322]: src/sdpd-service.c:add_record_to_server() Adding record with handle 0x10000 bluetoothd[2322]: plugins/mgmtops.c:mgmt_add_uuid() index 0 bluetoothd[2322]: src/sdpd-service.c:add_record_to_server() Record pattern UUID 00000003-0000-1000-8000-00805f9 bluetoothd[2322]: src/sdpd-service.c:add_record_to_server() Record pattern UUID 00000100-0000-1000-8000-00805f9 bluetoothd[2322]: src/sdpd-service.c:add_record_to_server() Record pattern UUID 00001002-0000-1000-8000-00805f9 bluetoothd[2322]: src/sdpd-service.c:add_record_to_server() Record pattern UUID 00001108-0000-1000-8000-00805f9 bluetoothd[2322]: src/sdpd-service.c:add_record_to_server() Record pattern UUID 00001112-0000-1000-8000-00805f9 bluetoothd[2322]: src/sdpd-service.c:add_record_to_server() Record pattern UUID 00001203-0000-1000-8000-00805f9 ... [ omitted ] ... Furthermore, comparing bluetoothd logs (working vs not working kernel) I have noticed the following difference: bluetoothd[4450]: plugins/mgmtops.c:read_info_complete() hci0 addr 00:09:DD:XX: XX:XX version 3 manufacturer 10 class 0x000000 bluetoothd[2322]: plugins/mgmtops.c:read_info_complete() hci0 addr 00:09:DD:XX: XX:XX version 3 manufacturer 10 class 0x5a0100 so it seems the class is not properly initialized. The kernel is configured with CONFIG_BT=y CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM=y CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM_TTY=y CONFIG_BT_BNEP=y CONFIG_BT_HIDP=y CONFIG_BT_HCIBTUSB=y CONFIG_BT_HCIUART=y Let me know if I can help providing more info.
