Subject: [Bluez-devel] hciattach killed

Hi,

I run Bluez (PAN) on an arm processor device with a kernel with all bluez
drivers built-in.
I can perfectly PAN (ping, ftp, etc.) with other devices.

The problem is now, when I stop any program (l2ping, ping or higher
application e.g. upnp)
with <Ctrl-C>, the BT chip is always detached :
"hciconfig" shows only 00:00:00:00:00:00 MAC-adress
I have to hciattach again.
If I stop programs regular, e.g. ftp with "quit", then it is NOT detached,
only
Crtl-C causes the problem.
(I also observed similar "automatic detach" when devices (e.g. a Zaurus) go
into power save
mode, but I think this is due to a voltage drop at the BT chip, which Ctrl-C
shouldnt
cause.)

I didnt experience this on arm processor devices, where the bluez modules
(l2cap,
hci_uart, bnep) havent been built in, so my only idea at the moment is, that
the
problem is due to the fact, that all is built-in. Can it be, that killing a
program
with Ctrl-C kills also a socket / port / whatever used by the
build-in-hciattach.

Do you have any idea?

Kind regards, Matthias

the strange thing is that if hciattach is killed, the Bluetooth device
must disappear and hciconfig couldn't show it anymore. Check in detail
what is going on there. And btw the hciattach uses the TTY ldisc of the
hci_uart driver to attach the serial port.

Marcel
