New Bluetooth Drivers, For Sharp ROMs using 2.4.18 kernel Options

[tumnus]

I've finally got around to updating the Bluetooth BlueZ driver ipk.

This is only for Sharp ROMs and variants of Sharp ROMs, excluding Cacko ROMs, that use the 2.4.18 kernel. So for example this includes Sharp ROMs on SL-5500, SL-5600, SL-6000, SL-C850, but NOT SL-3000.

Here's some of the improvements:

• Ambicom BT2000C Support. Thanks to tetron for spotting this had been included in the latest drivers. EDIT: Actually it doesn't look like this is working
• Socket Card Rev G Support without requiring the extra bluez-csr-serial ipk. Thanks to maslovsky for sorting this out
• Hopefully Dlink, Mavin, Billionton, BrainBoxes, and Dell cards should all be supported 'out of the box'
• Should work 'out of the box' on the SL-6000. (It moves /etc/pcmcia.bm3.conf out of the way on installation and back again on removal) Thanks to DrWowe for spotting what was wrong previously
• EDIT: Included hci_usb driver would should allow SL-6000L owners to use USB Bluetooth dongles with the appropriate USB cable.

EDIT: The PAN profile should be working now as I resolved a kernel module problem.

Before installing the new ipk, backup your files under /etc/bluetooth and /etc/pcmcia/peers. Then you can easily restore them after installing the new ipk. (You will need to run '/etc/rc.d/init.d/bluetooth restart' after restoring rfcomm.conf and hcid.conf)

Also uninstall all bluez packages before installing this one, including the bluez-csr-serial, which is no longer required with the new package.

So here is the new ipk (Note: the 1st, 3rd and 4th underscores [_] in the filename need to be changed to dashes [-] after downloading):

i got it figured out. i'm typing using the bt dialup. my phone LG PM-325 with Sprint PCS Vision.

first of all, I flashed back to the stock 6K kernel. Now hciconfig returns the correct MAC addr dor my bt card

secondly, I have to do a SW update on my LG phone. This updates the phone OS to v18, which specificly says "improves the bluetooth performance". Without this, sdptool browse won't find anyservice and returns time out.

now. with sdptool browse working. the rest is just following up the bt how-to

note: dial up service is actually set as channel 4 in the LG

enabled my bt phone as always visible
and fire up dial-up connection. that't it. I see the 3G RX TX in my LG phone. Thanks Tumnus for the bluz driver.
