[Bug 1049266] Re: pairing Wii Balance Board not supported in 4.101

 

It's not about dragging feet, really just that updating to 5.0 isn't so
simple, and requires careful coordination to avoid breaking more things
that get fixed by the update. BlueZ 5 is being looked at by many teams
right now, and we're still working on the transition.

This looks like a great, simple patch that someone looking to start
working on Ubuntu development could easily put together in the package
and submit for review and sponsored upload. I tagged this bitesize.

Title:
  pairing Wii Balance Board not supported in 4.101

Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The following code in 4.101 checks whether a device should receive the
  special Wii passkey:

  	vendor = btd_device_get_vendor(device);
  	product = btd_device_get_product(device);

  	device_get_name(device, name, sizeof(name));
  	name[sizeof(name) - 1] = 0;

  	if (g_str_equal(name, "Nintendo RVL-CNT-01") ||
  				(vendor == 0x057e && product == 0x0306)) {

  However, this does not work for the Wii Balance Board, which reports
  its name as "Nintendo RVL-WBC-01". I'd suggest to add a second
  comparison with this string.

  P.S. I haven't found any working upstream bug tracker, which is why I
  report this here, hoping that somebody from upstream will pick it up.
