Comment 2 for bug 211893

This relates to a similar bug in gutsy and before, but both bluez and the kernel has changed since so the fixes for those may not apply anymore.

In short this seems to relate to missing or incomplete support for eSCO in the kernel that makes most, if not all, BT<=1.2 headsets fail.

There's a number of patches listed to support this in the kernel listed at http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_24#head-efad198ce9f2c533fcc541c306e566fc3a42af91 It seems these are included in the current kernel-source (2.6.24-15).

In addition there is a small patch to make it work listed in http://lkml.org/lkml/diff/2008/2/25/530/1
This has been reported to work with 2.6.24 (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.user/13682).
