you are misusing l2control(8) tool. the 'read_channel_list' should display
the list of *L2CAP* channels on your *local* device, i.e. it is more like
list of open L2CAP sockets. the 'palm' (or 00:07:e0:0e:24:28) BDADDR is
a *remote* device. that is why you get 'Network is down' error.

same here. sdptool is what you should use to discover services on the
remote devices.

that is normal. some devices are being lame and does not support browse. 
you just need to use 'sdptool search' command instead.

palm's bluetooth stack are known to have problems.
