 |
|
Hi,
I recently bought a new VAIO CR36. It has a Broadcom 2046 chipset and I am having problems getting it work. I did follow the bluetooth guide found in the gentoo site. One thing I found weird was the fact that sdpd was not starting up when the bluetooth script starts up during boot. Is this normal.
hcitool dev gives me the following
| Code: |
loki sudharsh # hcitool dev
Devices:
hci0 00:1E:3D:38:EE:11
|
hciconfig gives me the following
| Code: |
loki sudharsh # hciconfig
hci0: Type: USB
BD Address: 00:1E:3D:38:EE:11 ACL MTU: 1021:6 SCO MTU: 64:1
UP RUNNING
RX bytes:477 acl:0 sco:0 events:68 errors:0
TX bytes:2729 acl:0 sco:0 commands:68 errors:0
|
But hciconfig -a gives me the I/O error
| Code: |
loki sudharsh # hciconfig -a
hci0: Type: USB
BD Address: 00:1E:3D:38:EE:11 ACL MTU: 1021:6 SCO MTU: 64:1
UP RUNNING
RX bytes:477 acl:0 sco:0 events:68 errors:0
TX bytes:2729 acl:0 sco:0 commands:68 errors:0
Features: 0xff 0xff 0x8f 0xfe 0x9b 0xff 0x79 0x83
Packet type: DM1 DM3 DM5 DH1 DH3 DH5 HV1 HV2 HV3
Link policy: RSWITCH HOLD SNIFF PARK
Link mode: SLAVE ACCEPT
Can't read local name on hci0: Input/output error (5)

Anyone having the same hardware and gotten it to work?

Hi
| Code: |
# hciconfig hci0 reset
|
or add to /etc/conf.d/local.start
| Code: |
# cat /etc/conf.d/local.start
# /etc/conf.d/local.start
# This is a good place to load any misc programs
# on startup (use &>/dev/null to hide output)
# Fake acpi event to switch runlevel if running on batteries
/etc/acpi/actions/pmg_switch_runlevel.sh "battery/battery"
# Resuelve los actuales problemas del bluetooth
/usr/sbin/hciconfig hci0 reset
|
Bye. |
