piggity seems to have got his card working as he posted in the other Socket Rev G thread. Don\'t know what\'s going on here then.

I found the other thread, but I think piggity is referring to getting it working with his C860, not the 6000 he refers to in this thread.

Piggity, can you clarify?

Yes I sent back the 6000 and got the 860. I can get it to work on the 860, but was never able to on the 6000.

Hmmm...bad news for me. I was just about to give in and get a 6000L with BT card as an acceptable substitute for the 6000W. However, filling up the CF slot (not really sure what other good use I\'d make of it) is one thing, but having a non-Socket BT card wagging its tongue out the top of my $700 Z is another...

The 5600 kernel most probably will not work on the 6000 and I wouldn\'t advise trying it.

At the risk of sounding ignorant (when it comes to Linux, I often am), but why not? Are such things as memory size or screen resolution (which seem to be the primary HW differences between 5600 and 6000) \"hard-coded\" into the kernel at compile time? If not, why wouldn\'t the kernel work, if all the other machine specific things (such as config files) are outside the kernel, and should(?) remain unchanged after a kernel flash?

Yes.

Does having the kernel source bring the Socket G any closer to working with the 6K?

Tumnus,

So does having the kernel source bring us any closer to figuring what wrong with the Socket Bluetooth 2.5G card for the SL-6000? If there is anything else I can try please let me know.

Thanks
Piggity

I honestly haven\'t had a look at it as yet. Not had the time. I also don\'t know if the US 6000L is using the same kernel source/config.
