Here is the FW from Jason. Details: ======================= I added a few debug statements (patch attached) to the kernel's net/bluetooth/smp.c:smp_sig_channel() function (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.0/net/bluetooth/smp.c#L2883). When I try to pair the PN579X, I get the following logs: [ 5653.563048] DBG: Received code 2 (allowed = 00000024) with 6 bytes [ 5653.563053] DBG: Processing code...

The "allowed" value is a bitmap, so 00000024 means that only event code 2 and 5 are allowed. The "smp_sig_channel()" function does allow code 11 ("SMP_CMD_SECURITY_REQ") to be sent from the device at the beginning of the connection but *only* if the "smp" variable hasn't been set yet. It looks like the host starts the pairing process and initializes the "smp" variable, which then prevents code 11 from being allowed. I did try to force the code to allow code 11 at any time, but this didn't seem to help the situation any. The device still sent code 5 ("SMP_CMD_PAIRING_FAIL") immediately afterwards, just like it does in the trace above. Worse, the kernel logs a general protection fault several seconds afterwards, so it clearly doesn't like the workaround. I also find it odd that the "AuthReq = 00". I found a copy of the core Bluetooth spec at https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/bluetooth- core-specification and Vol. 3 Part H Chapter 3.6.7 describes the AuthReq flags. All zero would seem to indicate that no security is requested, and I'm not sure if the kernel enforces a minimum security level or something. Finally, I also tried the suggestion at https://www.raymondjdouglas.com/blog/2019/airpods-on-arch/ on the assumption that maybe this is an issue caused by LE communication rather than classic BR/EDR communication. Alas, my computer wasn't even able to start the pairing process after making the change. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.6 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-01-21 (70 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180725) InterestingModules: bnep btusb bluetooth MachineType: Dell Inc.
