sdptool failes with bluetooth dongle

[Matthias Blaicher]

Binary package hint: bluez

USB dongle is discovered and pairing works, so does "hcitool scan", however

#sdptool browse 00:1B:AF:xx:xx:xx
Failed to connect to SDP server on 00:1B:AF:xx:xx:xx: File descriptor in bad state

Also searching for devices with gnome-bluez doesn't turn up any device (it does however when trying OBEX Push, which fails when transmitting thoug)

This problem has existed at least since Jaunty. Today there was a version bump in the karmic bluez stack but this didn't help. On my Asus EEE where bluetooth is integrated it does work though with the integrated bluetooth.

I suppose it is not a kernel bug as pairing with PIN works...

This is reported against an old version of Ubuntu and many things has changed since then. Because of that we won't fix this issue however if this behavior repeats on a modern version please fill a bug report against it and we will take it from there.
