Greetings;
I have a BT dongle on my usb tree here, which when connected after a
reboot, throws this in the log:
Jul 2 17:29:21 coyote bluetoothd[30502]: Bluetooth deamon 4.93

Which to my untrained eye, looks normal.
The circuit does not have a lot of traffic as its an rs-232 terminal
emulation.
However, a few hours later the connection is lost, and an attempt to re-
establish it with blueman-manager fails, logging this when it fails:
Jul 3 09:50:58 coyote klogd: hci_acl_tx_to: hci0 ACL tx timeout
Jul 3 09:50:58 coyote klogd: hci_acl_tx_to: hci0 killing stalled ACL
connection 00:0C:84:00:86:F8
rfcomm0 exists until I try to reconnect, and is then removed.
Blueman-manager seems to be reporting stale data because even when the
terminal proggy is DOA, it is reporting a poor signal when I hover over the
bar graph that is identical to when it was working. Occasionally the green
bar will go to nearly full height, but generally its just a small bar. The
circuit length is about 17 feet, thru a wall and a floor in a stick built
house.
I can reconnect only by rebooting this machine.
Is this a known problem? If so, what can I do about it?
The kernel running is a pclos built 2.6.38.8, on a quad core phenom.
pclos is a rolling release and is kept up to date daily.
Cheers, gene
