Still valid with bluez-4.60 or 4.39-r2?
Comment 4 Gustavo F. Padovan 2010-02-02 01:57:33 UTC 
Normally I get this type of error if the bluetooth device is not well supported by the kernel.

Please post the dmesg output and try the 4.60 ebuild as Pacho said.
Comment 5 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2010-02-19 13:39:48 UTC 
Please get back to us
Comment 6 Andre Gluecksmann 2010-02-19 14:55:23 UTC 
Okay I'll try the new version. I am going to report the results in a few days.
