How Well Is Bluetooth Supported On The Zaurus?

[xamindar]

I have browsed around these forums and it looks like bluetooth works if you install a bluez package but even then you can only use it from the command line?  Is this correct?  So no bluetooth menu items appear?  

I also see there is a bluetooth tray module listed in my system, what is that for?

Would it be possible to use my bluetooth usb dongle on my 3100 and connect to my phone to transfer files or even use the internet?

Are there any gui apps that will allow me to view other bluetooth devices and pair with them?

Thanks for any help.  I'm just getting some ideas before I decide to install random bluetooth ipks and mess up my Z.

I use a CF card, but I do connect to my phone as a modem and have transfered vcards to populate my phone's phonelist.

To setup the bluetooth pairing was done by commandline.  To setup the phone as a modem was done using the network app.  I have the cacko rom so the network app might have been modified to be more bluetooth friendly.  Once you know how to set it up, you could make them into scripts or make notes to make it much easier the next time.

To setup the bluetooth pairing was done by commandline.

You can also initiate the pairing from (eg) the phone side, the phone will ask a for a pin (type in something), then Z will ask for the pin (type in the same thing).

I'm having a problem with bluetooth.  I installed the bluetooth package of meanies.  When I plug in my bluetooth dongle dmesg reports that the device is claimed by bluez or something so I would think it works.  It works on my linux box.  Anyone know what's wrong?

Code: [Select]

bash-2.05# ./bluetooth restart
Shutting down Bluetooth... Can't get device info: No such device
Done.
Starting Bluetooth... parse error line 6
parse error line 7
Done.

Here is my dmesg output:

I looked for a thread that diagnosed BT dongles, but couldn't find it.
I've attached my bluetooth bookmarks. There is a ton of info in there.
Look at the Zaurus and OE Forums links.
I have 2 Kensington USB dongles, and they do work on my C3100
It's been a long time since I messed with this, but I had PAN working and obex push working, (it seemed to only recognize picture files though).
In sysinfo they show up as Bluetooth EDR Dongle. and a bunch of device info shows up in the bottom pane.
Plug in your dongle and wait about 20 secs, then look in sysinfo, last tab - devices.
You may need to find what chip is inside your dongle, and also who manufactured the dongle.
EDIT: I just found the thread where I got my Kensington USB dongle working on my Z in Cacko.
https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=19224
This post shows where I actually got it working on my Z

EDIT2: updated bluetooth_bookmarks.html to include above link:
"OE Forums -> Bluetooth Usb Dongles (first Time User), I cannot get them to connect, [Fixed]"

Now I'm thinking there just isn't a driver for it on the zaurus.  When I plug it into my linux box dmesg displays this:

Code: [Select]

Now, I can modprobe the hci_usb driver on the zaurus but it doesn't seem to do anything.  Under the USB section in sysinfo it shows the dongle but that it has "none" for the driver.
