Title:
  BLE pairing fail

Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On 15.10 we now have bluez 5 so we can pair BLE devices like the
  Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse.

  But this pairing doesn't work very well. Mouse is seen but pairing fail.
  More information: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104011#c5

  This is due to udev rule that use "hcitool" to power on device.
  Hopefully, bluez 5.35 has a new parameter "AutoEnable" who can be used instead of udev rules.

  here is a commit with this parameter: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~guilhem-fr/bluez/autoenable/revision/138
  And a ppa to test it: https://code.launchpad.net/~guilhem-fr/+archive/ubuntu/bluez-autoenable
