Belkin Be2830 Bluetooth Card

[grog]

Hi all. Can anybody confirm whether the Belkin BE2830 bluetooth cf card does or does not work with the Z (5600) or not? It's not listed here as supported. Good price for a bluetooth card & I'm looking to get a bluetooth phone in the near future, so may as well get prepared now. thks

I got the card & I don't think it works. The light doesn't come on, and installing bluez-zaurus doesn't seem to have done anything. It does recognize that a card has been inserted, though.

Code: [Select]

[zaurus@grond]<~>$ cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  product info: "CF CARD", "GENERIC", "", ""
  manfid: 0x0279, 0x950b
  function: 2 (serial)
Socket 1:
  no product info availableAm I SOL?

For the record, I've starting reading this thread about the bluez driver, and following the instructions in the FAQ hasn't produced anything promising.

Of course I have no bluetooth device at the moment to try to pair my Z with, but I'd expect some messages on the Z's end regardless, right?

I have no idea about Watapon, but it looks like this is a standard serial card using the BCSP. So - in theory - the card should mount as a tty when you insert it (see dmesg) and then you should be able to 'hciattach ttyS3 bcsp' and then 'hciconfig hci0 up'.

It's a sharp based rom, kernel 2.4.18.

The cf icon does show up on the taskbar, but unfortunately there's only a error shown by dmesg:

Code: [Select]

pxa_pcmcia_init(0)
serial_cs: RequestConfiguration: Bad VccAnd that's it. Does that tell you anything? thks

I got my card today, I have no BT device yet, so start to do some home work first.  This looks like the same chip of Billionton Bluetooth PCMCIA card PCBTC1

I googled Billionton then found this Japenese website
http://www.areanine.gr.jp/~nyano/cgi-bin/minibbs.cgi
Ha! This Billionton CF card CFBT02I looks like having the same chip as the PCMCIA card.  Don't know what exactly do those japenese mean, but it looks like that after some changes, (use the latest builds?)

, it can connect to AU W31T earphone,...
 

I will guess this CF use CSR chip.  
Some twisted in related CSR card (Ambicom BT2000C,  Dlink DCF650BT,  Socket Communications rev G) might help.  

I probabbly will try it later, since I am busy in fixing my borken linux desktop  
Keep me posted if you guys have some good news.

Hi shelandy & eji (who pm'd me on this). I uninstalled the older bluez package, installed the newer one & the suspend-resume packages from your links, but still nothing promising from the Z side anyway & some errors:

The modules seemed to load, but with that 'unresolved symbol' error, I don't hold up much hope. I tried rebooting, same deal. I can see the messages loading the modules, but no tty assigned as [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=13657&view=findpost&p=89941]Mickeyl suggested[/url] I should see.

So thanks for the tips anyway. I'm going to look into returning this card & seeing if I can get a supported one. 'fraid don't have any time to devote to Z coding right now.
