Bluetooth Under Debian Eabi, it works! Options

Bluetooth Dialup Networking How To after a fresh install of Debian Eabi

1) apt-get install bluez-utils

2) customize /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf :

some tips:

security auto;
pairing multi;
passkey "1234"; (this is where you set the bt PIN code)
lm accept;

3) customize /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf :

example :

rfcomm0 {
bind yes;
device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx; fill with gsm bt address
channel 1;
comment "nokia6630";
}


rfcomm1 {
bind no;
device yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy;
fill with GPS bt address
channel 1;
comment "GPSlim236";
}



4) customize /etc/ppp/peers/provider

then reboot

5) plug usb bt dongle dongle
you should have the dongle up,
if not verify that ohci-hcd module is loaded

5) hciconfig should say
hci0: type: usb
up running pscan iscan

6) pon provider

et voila

hi

can someone report about having bluetooth work under debian titchy ?
i mean having a CF Bluetooth recognized (for example a belkin ft0820!), having file transfers done, and having gsm (nokia?) dialup networking up&working ?

it is my first&last question before jumping into debianzaurus !

Using the kernel that came with titchy, I couldn't get bluetooth working. There was a problem with loading the serial_cs module.
Using the pdaX-kernel, I can get bluetooth working, but ATM I have no X.

I inserted my Socket G bluetooth card. This is what I have so far.

The Socket bluetooth card was recognised and various initialisation messages appeared in dmesg.

Message 1: ..HCI device and connection manager installed
Message 2: ..HCI socket layer initialised
Message 3: ..similar to wifi messages, driver needs updating...IRQ..
Message 4: ..Nokia control data = 0f 00

My ignorance of bluetooth from the command line is deep!

So I'll do some research and get back to this thread. I hope some clever type will beat me to the punch.
Cheers

ok
if someone could try a bluetooth usb dongle too that could be great
perhaps this one would work

well
1) i've just tried my Belkin FT0820 Bluetooth CF and :
it has 4 lines of complains about serial_cs: unknown symbol serial8250_xxxx

2) tried my MSI BT USB dongle and it seems to be well recognized! i'm trying bt dialup

apt-get install bluez-utils

all seems to work but it seems i've a PIN problem which is described here:
http://www.zedd.nl/?p=8

so we need to compile passkey_agent

[jpmatrix]

so we need to compile passkey_agent

could someone quickly compile it and share the binary ?
otherwise i'll have to wait until tonight

gotcha!
thanks to oesf i found that with that line, the zaurus become bluetooth discoverable:

dbus-send --system --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0 org.bluez.Adapter.SetMode string:discoverable

then i find it on the phone, entered my pin and pon provider

and it works !!!!!!

Help, where do I set the pin on the Z, or what is the default?

The phone can discover the Z, it calls it deb0. I'm using Socket F Bluetooth card. I installed bluez.


But I suppose I do need to compike passkey-agent anyway! Later for that.

[jpmatrix]

no need for passkey-agent !

here are some tips:

-/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf:
security auto;
pairing multi;
passkey "1234"; (this is where you set the PIN)
lm accept;

-/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf:
uncomment and fill with your bt gsm address

-/etc/ppp/peers/provider
i think you've customised it

then

rfcomm bind rfcomm0
pon provider (or pppd call provider)

then your zaurus should reach the phone via bt and dial

if something goes wrong, please post your latest messages in /var/log/messages

Cheers I should have been able to find all this with a forum search shouldn'tI! Thanks for the tips.

good surprise for me:

i'm using my msi bt dongle to download from my umts provider and i now have better download bandwith compared to my Belkin CF BT (used in angstrom or pdaxii13) ! i'm near 40 Kb/s with USB BT whereas i was at 9 Kb/s with my CF BT!!! (data given by apt-get)

do you think this come from the kernel or the usb bus ???

[jpmatrix]

you know what ? i'm happy: i succeed in having my bluetooth dialup AND my bluetooth GPS to work at the same time!!
for those interested, you just have to add an rfcomm1 device in rfcomm.conf,
then rfcomm bind rfcomm1
and it works!!!

1) i've just tried my Belkin FT0820 Bluetooth CF and :
it has 4 lines of complains about serial_cs: unknown symbol serial8250_xxxx

I had the same with my billionton xars so
I switched to kernel 2.6.22 . Now the messages are gone !
(symbol spectrum wifi also works like a charm)

Now I'll have to figure out what's next, cause the usual "setserial" doesn't seem to work ...

Any hints ?

Chero.

kernel 2.6.22 ??? where is it ? where is it ???

to have my belkin work under angstrom, i had to type:
hciattach /dev/ttyS4 bcsp

hope this helps!
