Bluetooth, Irda, And Usb Host Questions

[kakos]

I just flashed OpenZaurus 3.5.3 on my Zaurus C860.  I currently have three major issues which hopefully you can help me resolve (or at least tell me that it can't be done at this time).

1) I have an Anycom CF-300 Bluetooth Compact Flash Card (LSE139 Bluetooth Card) and I cannot get it to work.  I'm not sure which kernel modules I need to get this to work or what I"m supposed to do to get it to work.  Any help here would be greatly apprecaited.

2) I also have a Ratoc CFU1 USB Host card.  Does this work under OpenZaurus?  If so, how do I get it to work?  I have unable to do so.

3) I'm trying to connect to my cell phone through IRDA.  I set up a PPP connection with the right phone number and created a device using /dev/ircomm0.  However, when I try to start the PPP connection, it just displays the error "Unable to open modem."  Any idea what is happening here and how I can fix it?

Thank you very much to anyone who can help me with any (or all) of these questions.

Post the output of 'cardctl status' and 'cardctl info' and lsmod.

Yes it does.

You need b0ti's drivers cfu1-driver and hc811 (iirc) module.

Post some debugging output - you'll need to edit the chatscript.

Thank you very much for the pointer.  Do you by chance have a URL handy?  Thanks.

Where would I find debugging output?  The only thing I can see is the "Unable to open modem" error message.

Curious, it's identified as the wrong type of card. That said, the bluetooth drivers appear to be loaded (are they the right ones?). As I don't own either card I can't say which is right - can anyone with a WL1100C 802.11b CF-Card comment on the MANFID data?

Thank you very much for the pointer. Do you by chance have a URL handy? Thanks.

They are relatively new (developed after 3.5.3 was released) you'll therefore have to build them yourself using OE, or ask hrw in the upgrades thread to add them to the feed.

Where would I find debugging output? The only thing I can see is the "Unable to open modem" error message.

Edit the chatscript - /etc/ppp/peers/ and add -V (iirc) to increase the verbosity. Might also be worth altering this script to output the data to a specific file. I'm sorry it's been a long time since I've had to do this (in fact this was the first thing I ever had to do with my Zaurus all those years ago  )

Ugh.  I just realised I posted the wrong `cardctl info`.  I accidently posted the info for my wifi card, which works perfect.  

Here is the real stuff.  Sorry about this.  I'm not sure how I managed to post the wrong info

EDIT: When I first installed the Cacko ROM 1.21 on my C860, I had similar problems.  Same symptoms, same behaviour, etc.  Apparently, there was a problem with the old 2.4.x kernel handling the new Bluetooth chip's fast UART rate.  Supposedly, this was fixed in the 2.6 kernel, which OZ 3.5.3 is based on, so it shouldn't be a problem.

There wouldn't happen to be a site or text file detailing how to do this, as I have no clue.  If not, I guess I'll just have to wait for hrw to add it to the feed.

So, I looked in /etc/ppp/peers and there are no scripts in there, only two configuration files (called host and opie-kppp).  Both just have what appears to be a list of configuration options.

So, interesting discovery I made tonight.  If I plug the Bluetooth card in and let the OS boot with the card in, it works.  Otherwise, it doesn't.  Any idea what might cause this?

http://openembedded.org - download and get bitbake (the build system) and openembedded (the meta data) up and running, then it's as easy as running 'bitbake cfu1-driver'.

There's a getting started page on openembbeded.org, a mailing list and IRC channels (see openembedded.org for details), plus an Openembedded section ot this site.

Ah, I was getting confused with the Sharp ROM (which was the one I had to do that messing about with). The files are probably somewhere under your home directory, I'm afraid I don't know where, sorry.

Does it work if you reboot, then insert the card? Some BT CF card drivers have issues under 2.6 (basically they're not happy to suspend). You should be able to get around it in the short term by running "cardctl eject && cardctl insert" when you resume. I think hrw was looking into this more.
