changed since then. Because of that we won't fix this issue however if
this behavior repeats on a modern version please fill a bug report

Title:
  Bluez does not work and hcitool info fails

Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I have great isssues with ubuntu oneiric, bluez, a DELL E6500 and a
  nokia C2

  hcitool scan works and can see the Nokia device.

  however, any other attempt at initiating a bluetooth connection from
  the DELL fails

  for instance hcitool info <my device address> invariably fails with

  Requesting information ...
  Can't create connection: Input/output error

  Similarly, the sdptool browse command fails

  Failed to connect to SDP server on ... Host is down

  The only way to have the thing working seems to be

  0) Remove any association to the computer on the phone
  1) Initiate a device browse from the phone
  2) when the phone finds the computer, ask the phone to associate
  3) Complete the association

  After this, for some time, all the bluetooth commands succeed.

  Bluetooth adapter on the laptop is
  Bus 003 Device 005: ID 413c:8156 Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card

  On the phone I get from hcitool info

  Device Name: Nokia C2-01
          LMP Version: 2.1 (0x4) LMP Subversion: 0x1673
          Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio (10)

  This kind of erratic behavior (exactly regarding DELL laptops and
  nokia phones) was previously reported in other bugs then marked as
  fixed.
