HCI authentication and encryption
I haven't used my diNovo much lately, but the question I get the most (besides the one about the LCD-display on the Mediapad) is about authentication and encryption.

Since I haven't configured it myself, these are the notes I got from Benjamin Eikel (gmane), (based on the ones from Janis Münch):

  1. Enable authentication and encryption in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

    device {
       auth enable;
       encrypt enable;
    }

  2. Restart the Bluetooth subsystem

    /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart

  3. Initiate authentication

    Hit a button on the keyboard to make it try to connect, then enter your PIN on the keyboard.

  4. Complete the handshake

    Either use a script as pin_helper that echoes a static PIN and remote the computer via SSH or connect a second (cabled ;) keyboard to enter the pin in your pin_helper of choice.

  5. Repeat procedure with Mediapad

  6. Repeat procedure with mouse

    For PIN, use 0000 on the computer.

    If it doesn't work the first time, press the "Connect"-button under the mouse and issue "hidd --connect <bdaddr of mouse>" from the computer.
Also, if the keyboard/mouse is used with another device, you have to "hidd --connect <bdaddr>" to regain the connection.
