 |
|
I'm trying to follow the Bluetooth guide, but haven't been able to even get the dongle recognised as a USB device, let alone getting on to the bluez stuff.
I've got all the recommended usb and bluetooth options in the kernel config, all compiled and installed sweet - and I think the usb controller is recognised:
| Code: | gentoo ~ # lspci -v | grep USB
00:03.0 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
00:03.1 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
00:03.2 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
00:03.3 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 2.0 Controller (prog-if 20 [EHCI])
gentoo ~ # cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=480 MxCh= 8
B: Alloc= 0/800 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0
D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=01 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 2.06
S: Manufacturer=Linux 2.6.17-gentoo-r7 ehci_hcd
S: Product=EHCI Host Controller
S: SerialNumber=0000:00:03.3
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=e0 MxPwr= 0mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 2 Ivl=256ms |
If I plug in my Belkin bluetooth dongle, or a usb flash drive, or a usb printer there's no sign of any change, or anything showing up in dmesg.
The light on the bluetooth dongle flashes so the usb port must have power - as far as I'm aware it's enabled in hardware - it's a new motherboard and I certainly haven't disabled it.
Any ideas?
Jim.

Do you have hotplug enabled during the boot process? Could you post the output of "rc-update show".

| Code: | gentoo ~ # rc-update show
bootmisc | boot
checkfs | boot
checkroot | boot
clock | boot
consolefont | boot
hostname | boot
keymaps | boot
local | default nonetwork
localmount | boot
modules | boot
net.eth0 | default
net.lo | boot
netmount | default
rmnologin | boot
sshd | default
syslog-ng | default
urandom | boot
vixie-cron | default |
I've just emerged hotplug and run /etc/init.d/hotplug start - no difference - I'll try rc-update add hotplug default then reboot - is that a good idea?

Good point. The only options I've got different from those in the USB Guide are that the EHCI support is modularised rather than built-in - I don't know how that came about. Both UHCI and OHCI are built-in. I'll try changing EHCI to built-in and give it another go ... nope, made no difference!
Is there anything else that could be stopping OHCI? |

dsd - another pearl of wisdom moves me closer towards a working understanding of this new (to me) operating system - a guy at work said it would be a learning experience.
I was indeed still booting the old kernel - I thought I was copying it over, but hadn't mounted the boot partition first.
I'm now seeing devices, so on to the next stage...
Thanks again,
Jim. |
