Bluetooth Under Debian Eabi

[Chero]

1) i've just tried my Belkin FT0820 Bluetooth CF and :
it has 4 lines of complains about serial_cs: unknown symbol serial8250_xxxx  

I had the same with my billionton card so
I switched to kernel 2.6.22 . Now the messages are gone !
(symbol spectrum wifi also works like a charm)

Now I'll have to figure out what's next, cause the usual "setserial" doesn't seem to work ...    

Any hints ?

Chero.

kernel 2.6.22 where is it ? where is it

to have my belkin work under angstrom, i had to type:
hciattach /dev/ttyS4 bcsp

hope this helps!

I'll check it out this evening. (my bluetooth card is at home)

Where is the kernel :
I downloaded the latest spitz images from the angstrom site.
Then I first copied the modules from the hdimage1.tgz to the correct place.
I put updater.sh together with ZImage.bin on an SD card and flashed the new kernel.
(don't put the hdimage on the card !!!!)

Off topic:

How is the 2.6.22 kernel running in general? What are the major improvements over 2.6.20 (like sound, speed, etc)?
I am trying the older 2.6.17 kernel with fastfpe and cpufreq, and I now find the way to force the system to load my Ambicom WL1100C. Generally I find the system with the 2.6.17 kernel more responsive than the 2.6.20 in titchy, at least when running xfce4 (so many gnome stuff) and iceweasel.

- Not sure whether speed is different - I haven't been testing this.
- The mouse is still "rotated".
- both my wifi cards are recognized out of the box, without having two interfaces (wlan0 and wifi0)
- my bluetooth-CF forces the serial_cs module to load without errors
- sound : I'll check that one

so in general I think it has some benefits.

Where is the download location? I tried to find it but get lost ...

The only place I can find is here http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unsta...spitz/20070917/, but which one?

Also does hwclock work in 2.6.22? I cannot access the system clock after switching to 2.6.17 (complaint about missing /etc/rtc ).

I used the big one. Not sure if it's any different for the others, I suppose the only difference are the included apps.

I suppose it does : I didn't loose time-settings on reboot and I can use it to query the clock. (I use "date" to change settings, not sure what is called by it but it works)

Thank. I just choose the small one. Will start over again.
The 2.6.22 kernel seems to have the cpufreq patch. Can you play with dvfm?  

dvfm 16 4 1 2 1    # 416 mhz
dvfm 16 5 1 2 1    # 520 mhz
dvfm 16 6 1 2 1    # 624 mhz

Did you only remove xdm or also the so-called not longer needed packages ?
Maybe just apt-get install xdm again and only remove it from rc.d.

At least your BT card works ....

My ambicom wifi card cannot work again after switching to 2.6.22. Falling back to 2.6.20 it works just fine. Why?

playing with apt-get i succeed in reinstalling things... but now i can only log to X as root... it says my usual user is forbidden...
i guess i'd find the answer on google but feel free to help me

guys we're trashing this bluetooth thread! what about opening a new kernel 2.6.22 thread?

and using wifi thread for wifi related problems ?  i'll try my asus wl110 with kernel 2.6.22 to see if it continues to work though

[Chero]

Good suggestion about a new thread - you took the words right out of my mouth ...
Can't test anything now - I'm creating a rootfs tarball
My kids are using both my home-boxes and all I have left is my second Zaurus, so feel free to start the thread already.

Edit : new thread created

tested download speed with my belkin FT0820: speed seems limited to 9342 B/s .... (that was the same with angstrom)
with my MSI 6970 USB BT dongle, speed limit was about 43 Kb/s !
little bit disappointed....where is the bottleneck ? CF bus ? belkin limit ??

[jpmatrix]

each time i plug my belkin cf bt card or when i resume from suspend, i've to type
hciattach /dev/ttyS4 bcsp
for it to work

do you know a way to do that automaticaly ?
