asipsis,
Have you been able to get multiple controllers to pair on 100% of startups? I followed your ‘hciconfig hci0 piscan’ method and I’m only getting it to work about 70% of the time. When it works the dongle will turn on and start pairing when the splashscreen displays. The other times my bluetooth dongle fails to turn on so I can’t pair my controllers. I get the same error as quackwalks

Can’t set scan mode on hci0: Network is down (100)
[FAIL] startpar: service(s) returned failure: rc.local … failed!

I can’t figure out why bluetooth works sometimes but not every time. Is it possible that the splashscreen finishes too quickly before the dongle can turn on? Is there a way to extend the boot period when the splashscreen is running to give the dongle enough time to turn on?

Or am I wrong and the answer is something else entirely?
