Greyed out "Device class"

[Jan Kaláb]

Binary package hint: bluez-gnome

What symmary says... Unfortunately, I don;t know what I did wrong. I used my USB adaptor on many PCs (but always paired only with my phone), I played a bit with /etc/default/bluetooth and /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf (I was trying to share my desktop internet connection with my phone, it did't work), but I stull guess I has everything about device class configured as it was when I used Bluetooth for the first time (and I was able to choose device class).

hcid.conf:
...
device {
    ...
    class 0x000100;
    ...
}
...

$ hciconfig -a

Do you still have this issue on Hardy ?

I reckon the device class option was removed from the applet and is now automatically detected. If you want the default configuration files back which usually solve issues like this, backup all your custom changes and purge bluez-utils package. Then install bluez-utils package back.
