Subject: are those patches up-to-date?

Hello there,

I searched a little in your mail archive on gmane and found something
that looks similar to my problem. On 25th January 2011 and 26th October
2011 you pushed out two patches because of a security block issue ->
"[PATCH] bluetooth: Fix for security block issue." and "[PATCH]
Bluetooth: Revert: Fix L2CAP connection establishment".

The postet hcidump message in the second mail (10/26/2011) looks very
similar to my hcidump message.

So I would like to know if those two patches are up-to-date
(compatibel with bluez4.99) and/or if they are already included in
bluez4.99 (so patching is not necessary) ?

Regards,

Steffen

"uname -a" shall give you kernel version.

Oh thanks, I'm new to linux so my comprehension isn't that well.
But are you sure with "kernel 3.3" ?
Because I have gentoo-3.2.12 and thought this is the latest version...

Your question doesn't make much sense as those are both kernel patches
and BlueZ 4.99 is a user space component. I think both of those patches
can be found in kernel 3.3 and later.
