My old bluemonkey CF card died, so I bought a replacement Bluemonkey Bluetooth CF card from Shirtpocket which is a different type of hardware. I found a page on the shirtpocket forums showing what edits and packages to install to make it work, However, this doesnt work for me using the Cacko roms. My diagnostics follow...
By editing the /etc/bluetooth/uart file I was able to identify that a card was installed when running hciconfig, but running hciconfig returns:
hci0: Type: UART
BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0 DOWN
when I try and run "hciconfig hci0 up" as /etc/pcmcia/serial tries I get the error
Can't init device hci0. Permission denied(13)
I have installed the following packages:
bluez-csr-serial_0.1_arm.ipk
bluez-zaurus_2.3-2.4.18d_arm.ipk
I was initially running the CACkO Zaurus Qtopia ROM 1.20 "Daniela" which I have enjoyed using for many months, however, as internet connectivity is essential for my work I needed a solution.
Thinking it may be my Daniela installation, I tried reflashing last night to Elanor (v1.2.1b), with identical results (e.g.hciconfig shows the device, with address all zeroes).
I then reflashed to pdaxrom-1.0.5, where I saw entirely new behaviour:
When inserting the card the light flashed momentarily then went off. I used xcardctl to enable the card, then "hciattach /dev/ttS0 bcsp" enables hciconfig to show the correct information and I was then able to open a bluetooth connection to the internet through my phone so I know the card works but the Cacko roms are incompatible.
In conclusion, I am back online with my zaurus but it does not work automatically, and not with my preferred ROM. Any assistance with either of those two points would be greatfully appreciated.
