 Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2003 12:22 pm Post subject: Bluetooth and 2.6 kernels |
 |
|
Hi all
I'm trying to get bluetooth working on my box which is currently running 2.6.0-test8-mm1.
All guides on this forum seem to be useful only for 2.4.x kernels, as they mention patches to those kernels and so on. I haven't found anything related to 2.6.x kernels.
So, I tried using the builtin drivers. Loading the bluetooth and hci-usb (I have an usb dongle, supported by bluez) then inserting the dongle returns the following output on the kernel log:
| Code: | Oct 23 10:28:46 [kernel] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.3
Oct 23 10:28:57 [kernel] Bluetooth: HCI USB driver ver 2.4
Oct 23 10:29:38 [kernel] hub 3-0:1.0: new USB device on port 1, assigned address 2
Oct 23 10:29:38 [kernel] hci_usb: probe of 3-1:1.0 failed with error -5 |
I'm pretty much lost here, so any help would be appreciated. |

I found some new information and maybe my problem has turned to a compiling problem.
My bluetooth usb dongle is a Keyspan BT-2A. According to BlueZ's hardware support list, my dongle is supported by hci_usb + bluefw since it's based on a Broadcom chipset.
Anyway, I am having troubles compiling bluez-bluefw. Below is the emerge output:
| Code: | gustavo root # emerge bluez-bluefw

I don't have a clue how to solve this, so maybe someone can look at the emerge output and point the error.

Nevermind, I just got it working...

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Hi
Can you confirm your final setup please ...
Do you have anything configured in the kernel for bluetooth?
I've installed the latest unstable bluefw from portage, but no joy.
I've a belkin F8T001 usb dongle.
also, do I really need hotplug installed? can I just load the drivers from the kernel?
Thanks

You shouldn't need the r1 version of bluefw unless you are using a 2.6 kernel. If you are still on a 2.4 kernel, use the stable package.
What is your problem getting it to work? |

Yes, I'm using a 2.6 kernel  thats why I asked in this thread 
It looks like the bluetooth driver is all in the kernel, so do we need to have all that selected in the kernel, as well as installing bluez?
My dongle is not recognised.
scooby
With the likes of alsa, which is included in the kernel, you don't need to load alsa-driver to get it to work ... but here we appear to select bluetooth in the kernel, then load bluez, which is the driver. I must be missing something here .. |

Yes, you need the kernel modules and the bluez-* packages. The only package you won't need is bluez-kernel, which are the kernel modules. You don't need them as they are included in the kernel, as alsa.
You'll need the other bluez packages to be able to communicate with other bluetooth devices.
What's the output of your lsmod? In order for your dongle to be recognized, you'll need only 2 modules, the bluetooth and hci-usb ones.
After these modules are loaded, you enter the lsusb command (available in the usbutils package) to gather the bus and device numbers for your dongle. Then you just load the firmware into the dongle with bluefw usb <bus>/<dev>. It should return a message saying the firmware loaded ok. If not, just remove and insert again the dongle, get the new bus and dev numbers and try again.
Then you should be able to hciconfig hci0 up.
Now the communication part is more complex. I managed to do some file transfers, but I am still learning this. |

Ok, thanks, ! have some communication now ...
The PC see's the tungsten, but I'm unable to pair them ...
I'm asked for a pin on my tungsten, but nothing happens on the pc...
Some more digging.
cheers
ps googling for 2,6 BT kernel stuff is amazingly scarce! alot of outdated stuff, back to 2001! |

Thanks, I'd been looking at that one ... but it appeared not to be taking any notice of it.
I entered the number, and the link just timed out ...

Hi all
Is it possible to bring up the bluetooth network on booting of the machine?
Its a pain loading the bluetooth firmware and then 'hciconfig hci0 up' (something like that! on windoze atm!)
Can I add something to the default runlevel, or add something to fstab etc??
Thanks for any tips
