Dlink DCF650BT bluetooth card
« on: March 10, 2004, 05:35:30 am »
I have a new Dlink bluetooth cf-card and i installed the latest bluez ipkgs (with the serial pkg). After installation the cards led starts to blink and the cf applet appears. But apart from that I cannot get the bluetooth connection to work. hciconfig returns nothing.
cardctl ident returns:
Socket 0:
product info \"Bluetooth BT0100M\",\"\",\"\"
function: 2 (serial)
Socket 1:
no product info available

After restarting the zaurus (860 \"original\" english rom) the card does not blink anymore.

Can anyone help me please?

When you say you installed the latest packages, do you mean version 2.3-2.4.18d? 2.3-2.4.18e isn\'t working so you should use version 2.3-2.4.18d.

In /etc/pcmcia/bluetooth.conf, add the following

Code: [Select]
card "Dlink DCF650BT Bluetooth Card"

  version "Bluetooth BT0100M", "", ""

  bind "hci_uart"


In /etc/bluetooth/uart, add the line:

Code: [Select]
"Bluetooth BT0100M", "", "":/dev/ttyS3 bcsp

Did you copy the \'cardctl ident\' output or did you manually type it in your post? The lines in /etc/pcmcia/bluetooth.conf and /etc/bluetooth/uart with \"Bluetooth BT0100M\" must match the Product Info text exactly, including the empty quotes and spaces. There is usually a space after a comma.

The run the following commands:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart
/etc/rc.d/init.d/bluetooth restart

Then eject the card and reinsert it.

Or you could just reboot.

Oops, sorry, told you the wrong thing. Remove that entry from /etc/pcmcia/bluetooth.conf and restart pcmcia and bluetooth again (or reboot).

Thanks again.
My PC can at least now see the zaurus. I am now struggling with the PPP connection, but I will try first before asking questions.

Just received a new batch of "BlueMonkey" Cards from our supplier.

Problem is, they are not bluemonkey. They are totally different (much nicer looking as it happens, but not the point...).
Had a call from someone else that bought one elsewhere and they had the same issue, so it looks like BlueMonkey card may become rare...

Anyway, the new card gives same BT0100M identification as your card.

Managed to get it working fine with SE T610 for dial up etc. no problem. (with Serial file).

Only the one change to the UART file no change to bluetooth.conf

Looks like a nice card, the bit that sticks out is nice and small and taches well with the C750/C860 (Blackand silver)

Only thing bugging me (other than now having to do a file mod), is the bluetooth light is quite intense on these and it won't go out. Just fast when it is doing something and slow when it is not.

Does anybody know how to add support (i.e. which files to modify) for this card under OE? It would be nice if we could find a way to get this card working "out-of-the-box" in time for the first release...

From what I have seen playing around with it, it seems that they are using an updated version of bluez, thus all the config files have changed (there is no /etc/bluetooth/uart file anymore)

Thanks

Hello everyone, and all that

I also recently (yesterday, as a matter of fact) managed to get the "noname" bluetooth card delivered from Expansys. It seems promising that at least some have gotten it working, alas I have not as yet.

So, questions for Zuber, since you seem to have it up and running:
What kernel module does this mysterious card use?
Since I an running the latest (stable) pdaXrom, what packages whould I download?
What files has to tweaked in order for the card to spring to life?

Currently, the card blinks one miserable time at insert into the 860 and then goes silent. It can be awoken by reinitializing it via the xcardmanager, and then starts blinking merrily. However, no matter what module I load, hciconfig doesn't seem to find a good device.

I'm a little bit stumped right now, but remain in good hopes

cacko 1.21.b

What Bluetooth packages have you installed so far?
bluez only

You should not be installing any additional bluez packages on 1.21b ROM. Just edit the /etc/bluetooth/uart like mentioned abopve and reinsert the card.

@tumnus

Why does that change in bluetooth.conf not work?
It looks so nice to see the Name and the Brand of the Card when you insert
it ;-)
It works well for me without that (Tested it, have commented it out)...

I also successfully paired the Z with my Mobile Phone.
I also could create a GPRS Dial Up (BT Applet) and just pinged www.yahoo.com...
with success !!! :-)

The only problem i have is : I cant eject the BT-CF Card (via Applet)
I have to manually stop Bluetooth (Console) and then eject the Card....

BTW: I'm also using that BT0100 D-Link DCF650BT Card...
with CackoROM & Patch, BlueZ.
