pand in /etc/init.d/bluetooth fails with "Failed to connect to the local SDP server. Connection refused(111)" error. Solution included

These race conditions are all fixed now. The hcid will start other services like network service (which replaced pand).

This problem persists in Gutsy for dund. Adding a sleep 1 at the recommended place fixes the issue.

this problem persists even in hardy. the "sleep 1" workaround doesnt seem to fix it either.

i still get connection refused if i try to connect my nokia sdp server via bluetooth:

feanor@eldar:~$ sudo sdptool browse 00:1D:6E:B8:11:30:
Failed to connect to SDP server on 00:1D:6E:B8:11:30: Connection refused

I'm seeing this also in Hardy/8.04.

I need to modify /etc/init.d/bluetooth thusly.. (different but similar to above as I'm only using dund)

start_pan()
{
        if test "$DUND_ENABLED" != "0"; then
+ sleep 1
                start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DUND_DAEMON -- $DUND_OPTIONS
                [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_progress_msg "pand"

Or else the result is as below. dund does not register SDP and I can't use it until I manually kill it and restart it.
