D-Link DCF-650BT Bluetooth CF not recognised

[renato]

I am trying to make the mentioned card working on my 5600.

I have installed bluez and bluez-csr-serial (as recommended in the BlueZ HOWTO).
Then, I have added the following string in /etc/bluetooth/uart
\"Bluetooth BT0100M\", \"\", \"\":/dev/ttyS3 bcsp
(as indicated in the \"Bluetooth Cards Support\" of the compatibility HOWTO.

The card is still not recognised when I insert it.
If I try:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/bluetooth restart

I get an I/O error :-(

The HOWTO reports the card working with BlueZ with the modification mentioned above in /etc/bluetooth/uart, while the BlueZ hardware support reports the BT100 (clone of the DCF-650BT) as \"not tested\" and does not indicate a driver.

Should I add some entry also in /etc/pcmcia/bluetooth.conf ? But what, not knowing which driver is supposed to work?

I have just received my DCF-650BT; after about two hours of trial&error, I managed to get the card recognised and even detected my Siemens S55. So the good news is it can be done  Here's what I did:

1. I am running OpenZaurus 3.5.1 which has all sorts of bluetooth packages installed by default. I didn't install anything.

2. The packages that install with OZ 3.5.1 differ from those mentioned in the Bluetooth How-to. For example, the file /etc/bluetooth/uart was missing in my installation. I created it and inserted the "Bluetooth BT0100..." line as specified in the How-to.

3. I ejected the card, rebooted the Zaurus and inserted the card.

4. On the command line, I tried the following commands mentioned by Tumnus over in the Socket 2.5G thread:

Code: [Select]

modprobe hci_uart
hciattach /dev/ttyS3 bcsp 230400
hciconfig hci0 up5. After that, running "hciconfig" produced a nice status report. Running "hcitool scan" found my S55.

The card seems to go dead after suspend/resume and I haven't done any pairing or anything yet. The OpenZaurus distribution does not seem to include GUI utilities of any sort (none of the Bluetooth taskbar applets) so I'll probably have to get them somewhere.

Hi zenyatta,

I managed it to work with your instructions.

I even paired the Z with my Phone.
My Phone is prepared for the Web, so it was no big Problem to create a Dial
Up-Connection (via BT Applets for BlueZ) and then connect to the Web.

I only had Problems with the 1st Pairing (Exchange of the PIN).

Another Problem is : I cant eject the BT Card (DCF650BT) via my CardMon-Applet.
I have to stop Bluetooth manually (Console) and the eject the Card.

I also dont have tested Suspend/Resume so far...

BTW : I am using CackoROM + Patch. I dont know if BlueZ comes with it, I installed 18d manually...

BTW : Thank you for your Instructions... I almost gave up...

It worked! :-))
I got back my card (I gave it to  friend to check if the HW was ok on a winCE PDA) and tried again...
... I am a bit ashamed, because, in fact, if was an "hrdware" problem... the connector was a bit hard and, while I believed it was inserted...
I just had to push a bit harder :-)))

I was able to connect on the net with my S55. There is still the problem when suspending/resuming: I'll downoload suspend/resume and try if it helps.

Thanks for the support! :-)))

Update:
I dowloaded and installed sudo, suspend-resume, and suspemd-resume-blueZ. No success.
I tried launching manually the script /etc/apm.d/bluetooth with suspend and resume parameters.
It seems that is "suspend" which fails. It doesn't reports errors, but after it it is still impossible to eject the card (reports: "device or resourc busy") and hcitools still report the interface up

I tried manually with "hcitool dc <board address>" and "hciconfig hci0 down". It reports the card down but it is still up.

I'll continue trying and let you know...
