Hi all,
I've been experiencing some problems when trying to open multiple rfcomm
ports, with pppd using the rfcomm ports.
I have three bluetooth serial ports setup in rfcomm.conf, but it appears
that I can open connections to two of them at once.=20
While the first two serial ports are connected, and the third is trying
to connect, running rfcomm gives;
rfcomm0: 00:0E:6D:1A:9A:3F channel 1 connected [tty-attached]
rfcomm1: 00:02:EE:82:D9:29 channel 2 connected [tty-attached]
rfcomm2: 00:60:57:70:CD:E1 channel 3 config [tty-attached]
Then the terminal with the third connection reports;
"Failed to open /dev/rfcomm2: Host is down"
At which point running #rfcomm gives;
rfcomm0: 00:0E:6D:1A:9A:3F channel 1 connected [tty-attached]
rfcomm1: 00:02:EE:82:D9:29 channel 2 connected [tty-attached]
rfcomm2: 00:60:57:70:CD:E1 channel 3 closed.
If I now close the connection to rfcomm1 or rfcomm0, I can connect to
rfcomm2 (so I can always have a max of 2 active connections).
However, If before I start the pppd connections to the serial ports, I
start 3 copies of l2ping (one to each of the MAC addresses listed
above), and keep these running, I can establish pppd connections on
rfcomm0+1+2 at the same time.
With this scenario, if one of the pppd sessions terminates, the l2ping
to the corresponding rfcomm device's MAC will stop giving:
"Send failed: Connection reset by peer", and once again I can only use
two of the rfcomm ports.=20
Using bluez-utils-2.10-2 and bluez-libs-2.10-2 under a 2.4.22-1 kernel
Any idea/subjections/requests for more information greatly appreciated!
Many Thanks
Steve Drew

what does "hcitool con" tell you at this point? Run "hcidump -x" and see
with what error code the third connection fails.

What devices did you use (hciconfig -a) and to what devices are you
connecting?

Oh, yes.

two more options left to try.

Yeah, the old Nokia Bluetooth chips are not quite the best for such
scenarios. The 6230 contains a CSR chip, right?
