I would like say thanks to Maslovsky for the ROM. Very impressive and I am one happy user.
I have been trying to set up my bluetooth card without much success. I have followed a number of threads on the subject all to no effect.
I would agree that adding bluez files as per the ‘how to page’ does not help with the Cacko 1.21a. It did nothing other than require yet another re flash.
Sadly I think that Maslovsky may well be right about the drive support for newer cards.
In the off chance that anyone has any good ideas this is the brief out line.
Card : Blue Monkey, FCC ID PANBT010M
Cardctl ident: Socket 0:
Product info: “Bluetooth BT0100Mâ€, “â€, “â€
Function : 2 (Serial)
Cardctl status: Scocket 0:
3.3v 16-bit PC Card
function 0: [ready]
And I get a funky blue led that flashes.
Machine is a C860 with Cacko 1.21a and no other extras (as yet)
No other commands indicate that the existence of the card has been recognised. It responds to card being stopped and restarted, at least the led stops and starts. My belief is that the drives have not been picked up for it. This is most probably due the “product info†description not being in the file containing the bind instructions. This is also probably due the card not being supported.
Two things I would like answers to are
a) Is there any significance in the ident being function 2 and the staus being function 0?
Most cards have at least 2 fields in there product information description were at this card has one full field and 2 nulls. How should it be described in the /etc/pcmcia/bluetooth.conf ?
For background I am an ancient 6502 assembler programmer, no we have not all died we look that way. I also spend 5 years as an administrator on a small unix system some 15 years ago, man do I wish had not given my books and notes away!
All of which will probably classify me as dangerous out of date and far too gung ho!
