1 The bluez-5 stack is causing me some problems. It will pair but then
2 says its not paired so wont connect. Googling shows lots of problems
3 with many saying it suddenly starts working and they don't know what
4 happened!

6 The BT dongle worked fine under bluez-3 and 4. The other end is an
7 arduino which needs to be connected via an rfcomm channel (for serial
8 comms) and the hardware on both ends has been working for literally years.

10 After upgrading to bluez-5 it stopped working.

12 I used bluetoothctl to pair it and info shows it paired and trusted, but
13 I cant connect to it:
