Slow data rate with BlueZ


Hi There,

Am running debian with the latest 2.6.23 kernel and bluez 3.24 and seem to be getting incredibly slow data transfer speeds (takes me about 45/50 secs to send a 900KB file) which I know is well below what the device is capable of.

This issue is replicated on my slackware system which is also running bluez. I'm guessing there is a setting I am unaware of that needs to be changed so that this device works to full capacity but have no idea where to look.

The device is a USB bluetooth 2.0 dongle with edr and a class 1 radio (100m) and is based on the CSR chipset.

The various hciconfig outputs are as follows;

Linux:~# hciconfig -a

Cheers guys, any help would be much appreciated as I've been banging my head on this one for a while
