I decided to start a new thread about this since I couldn't find similar posts with similar problems. Here is the syslog account of what my HCI daemon is complaining about. Code: Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 hcid[6147]: Bluetooth HCI daemon Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 hcid[6147]: Parsing /etc/bluetooth/main.conf failed: No such file or directory Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 hcid[6147]: Starting SDP server Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 hidd[6165]: Bluetooth HID daemon Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 hcid[6147]: Registered manager path:/org/bluez/serial Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 hcid[6147]: Unix socket created: 12 Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 hcid[6147]: Registered manager path:/org/bluez/audio Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 hcid[6147]: bridge pan0 created Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 hcid[6147]: Registered manager path:/org/bluez/network Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 hcid[6147]: Registered server path:/org/bluez/network/nap Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 hcid[6147]: Registered server path:/org/bluez/network/gn Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 hcid[6147]: Registered server path:/org/bluez/network/panu Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 pand[6180]: Bluetooth PAN daemon version 3.19 Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 hcid[6147]: Registered input manager path:/org/bluez/input [B]Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 hcid[6147]: Failed to listen on control channel[/B] Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 hcid[6147]: HCI dev 0 registered [B]Aug 12 12:29:41 ubuntu1 pand[6180]: Bind failed.

network.so does exist in /usr/lib/bluetooth/plugins and yes there is no main.conf in /etc/bluetooth/ I'm not having a problem with main.conf anymore it seems. How do I explore why pand gives a "Bind failed. Address already in use(98)" error? Thanks!
What's the output of Code: ls -l /usr/lib/bluetooth/plugins/network.so ? Have you tried to reboot the system?
