Help Configuring Bluetooth?
« on: December 31, 2006, 01:50:58 pm »
I'm a first time user of OZ on 3100. I'm not sure how to get bluetooth working, I'm also hanging around in #openzaurus. I'm using a "f8t020 v2" from belkin.

I get an hciconfig -a error
"can't read local name on hci0"

Any help configuring it would be welcome, and maybe I can uncover the problem?

Have a look at the howtos on this site, and I've found this article very helpful:

Rediscovering Bluetooth

It was written by Guylhem (of Guylhem ROM fame, I believe).  Really helped me get my head around all the different aspects and requirements of bluetooth on linux.

I know that doesn't answer your question straight off, but hopefully it'll help.

Thanks, I think I see the problem now. While it is a CSR chip, I think the driver is not right for it. The only way to fix this, I see is for someone to send one of the devs for bluez a card to work on. All I can say right now, STAY AWAY FROM BELKIN CARDS. I'm not sure how socket comm works, but recently Atheros donated a SDIO stack. We need to push for GPL drivers.
