 |
|
Hello,
I am having problem with my Trust usb bluetooth dongle. I followed http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Bluetooth to set up my bluetooth. I started bluetooth deamon with /etc/init.d/bluetooth start:
| Code: |
priscilla3770 src # /etc/init.d/bluetooth status
* status: started
|
One can see that the device is connected:
| Code: |
priscilla3770 src # lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 05e3:0723 Genesys Logic, Inc. GL827L SD/MMC/MS Flash Card Reader
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 046d:c050 Logitech, Inc. RX 250 Optical Mouse
|
However when I try to see my adapter it isn't there (I used hcitool dev as suggested by the wiki):
| Code: |
priscilla3770 src # hcitool dev
Devices:
priscilla3770 src #
|
A solution or some steps that will help identify the problem will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Bus 004 Device 004: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
good deal, i have the same chip as you. its a problem in the kernel section of the wiki....... ill fix the wiki for you. it will be done in 12 hours or less. mines been tested and working. i actually gave up my only bluetooth device to a friend that needed it for wifi keyboard to mac mini.
btusb 11964 0
bluetooth 204900 24 bnep,btusb,rfcomm
rc-service bluetooth start
the wiki actually does have the information but its kind of confusing how its setup.
"
Select options for Bluetooth applications, see table below:
<*> ...
"
m m & m, no additional features at that point.
mkultra@mksrv [ ~ ]$ hcitool dev
Devices:
hci0 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx |

| Thanks. Adding HCI USB driver (btusb) to the kernel made the dongle work. |

i have the same device and i can't for the life of me get it working. can i get a "cheat sheet" of everything that's needed?
from the wiki i see:
| Code: |
[*] Networking support --->
<*> Bluetooth subsystem support --->
Select options for Bluetooth applications, see table below:
<*> ...
Bluetooth device drivers --->
Select a Bluetooth HCI driver, e.g.:
<*> HCI USB driver (btusb)
|
and i've gathered from various other pages that the following modules are needed:
| Code: |
# lsmod |egrep "(bluetooth|btusb|bnep|rfcomm|rfkill)"
btusb 8765 0
rfcomm 22815 0
bnep 7214 2
bluetooth 145673 14 bnep,btusb,rfcomm
rfkill 10611 1 bluetooth
usbcore 98677 10 btusb,uhci_hcd,usb_storage,hid_sony,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd,ehci_pci,usbhid,xhci_hcd,sl811_hcd
|
which are loaded, so i assume i've set up the kernel correctly (yes?)
i've started and restarted bluetooth, and done bluetooth -n -d:

it worries me that the child exits, so i think something's broken. it won't create a /dev/hci0 device. the following isn't giving me the output i expect:
| Code: |
# hcitool dev
Devices:
# hciconfig scan
hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: USB
BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0
DOWN
RX bytes:48 acl:0 sco:0 events:3 errors:0
TX bytes:24 acl:0 sco:0 commands:8 errors:0
# rfkill list
5: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
# hciconfig hci0 up
Can't init device hci0: Connection timed out (110)
|
i feel like i've missed a very important step here - can anybody help? |
