Thanks Murz. Your proposed workaround did not solve the issue for me. I can now reproduce both on lucid and on oneiric, using the same headset.
This is the log from a session in which I successfully coupled the adapter: Dec 28 22:58:04 giskard bluetoothd[21144]: Discovery session 0x555555813e50 with :1.1088 activated Dec 28 22:58:51 giskard bluetoothd[21144]: Stopping discovery Dec 28 22:59:02 giskard bluetoothd[21144]: Badly formated or unrecognized command: AT+CSRSF=0,0,0,0,0,7 Dec 28 22:59:04 giskard kernel: [268697.152101] input: 00:1A:7D:E0:7B:27 as /devices/virtual/input/input22 Dec 29 03:59:04 giskard rtkit-daemon[1920]: Successfully made thread 21926 of process 2092 (n/a) owned by '1000' RT at priority 5.
