Description of problem:
The Bluetooth userspace utilities do not work properly on kernels newer than
2.6.38. In particular, sending files by Bluetooth from the computer to a remote
device (obex push) fails. The problem occurs on both Fedora 15 with the latest updates and Fedora 16. On Fedora 16, the Bluetooth adaptor is functional
only if the bluez-hid2hci package is installed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.96-3

How reproducible:
On a Fedora 16 system with the bluez-hid-2hci package installed, turn on
Bluetooth and try to send a file via Bluetooth to a remote device such as a
mobile phone.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On Fedora 16, if package bluez-hid2hci is not installed, install it.
2. Turn on Bluetooth (system adaptor).
3. Try to send a file to a remote device such as a mobile phone.

Actual results:
gnome-blueooth either crashes or fails to send file to remote device.

Expected results:
File gets transferred successfully.

Additional info:
There are various manifestations of this bug on different Linux distributions, including crashing, failing with the error message, "Connection refused" and failing with the error code 111.
