Return-Path: From: James Cloos To: linux-bluetooth@vger.kernel.org Subject: Keeping hci interface powered Date: Sat, 03 Jan 2015 19:27:40 -0500 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Sender: linux-bluetooth-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: I recently assembled a box for htpc duties, including a bluetooth keyboard. It mostly works, except that the hci interface continually powers down. I suspect every time the keyboard powers down,the hci does, too. How can I prevent that? I want the hci always to be powered, so that the keyboard can reconnect every time I hit a key. As it is, whenever I want to use it, I have to ssh in from another system, run bluetoothctl and therein run power on and connect $MAC. You can imagine how frustrating that is. The box has a Gigabyte F2A88XN-WIFI board, which came with a laptop- style mini-pcie card with an intel 7260 802.11n on the pcie and an 8087:07dc bluetooth on the usb. bluetoothctl show says: Controller 80:86:xx:xx:xx:xx Name: BlueZ 5.27 Alias: BlueZ 5.27 Class: 0x000104 Powered: yes Discoverable: no Pairable: yes UUID: PnP Information (00001200-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) UUID: Generic Access Profile (00001800-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) UUID: Generic Attribute Profile (00001801-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) UUID: A/V Remote Control (0000110e-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) UUID: A/V Remote Control Target (0000110c-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) Modalias: usb:v1D6Bp0246d051B Discovering: no Thanks, -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6
