Hi, Unfortunately, I can't fix this without updating the whole bluetooth stack (and other pieces). There was never much interest in bluetooth on RHEL-6 so it never stayed up to date. With RHEL-6 going into maintenance mode, management will not support an effort to modernize the bluetooth stack to resolve this. Therefore closing it out as WONTFIX. Cheers, Don
