These are my settings for bluetooth on my Gentoo.
1. I don't use bluetooth often and on a side note, I'm connected to the internet using wired network. Therefore I created a script called wireless.start in /etc/local.d to switch off both wireless and bluetooth at boot.
Contents of wireless.start:
#!/bin/sh
rfkill block wifi
rfkill block bluetooth
rfkill block wifi
rfkill block bluetooth
2. When I want to use bluetooth to connect to my phone or tablet in order to transfer files, I just run the following commands:
rfkill unblock bluetooth
/etc/init.d/bluetooth start
blueman-manager
3. In my previous post regarding installing bluetooth, I mentioned that I was using gnome-bluetooth and not blueman. However the latest gnome-bluetooth package on Gentoo no longer provides bluetooth-applet which I used to manage pairing and file transfer with my handheld devices. The latest release of blueman on the other hand works. So I've switched to blueman.
