Networking :: Bluetooth problems



Hi,

My laptop is a Compaq armada 1700 (96 Mb ram, 266 Mhz), and I have a  Conceptronic Bluetooth pcmcia.  I want to connect the laptop with my PDA HP 2210 to transfer files, and with my movil S55 to connect the net via GPRS. My DSL version is the newest 3.2 in frugal installation.

When I load bluez-utils.unc and try to use the command #insmod bluez the output is:

insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluez.o is not owned by root
insmod: bluez: no module by that name found

I try to use with sudo and the output is the same, in a root window also.

So I can't go more away from here.

What can I do?

Thanks,

Onyarian

P.D.: Robert, very good job with this version, I can surf the net with a wifi pcmcia and wep with the internal madwifi without problems (I have to try now with wap encriptation). Thanks.
I got the bluetooth modules in the bluez-utils.unc from the Knoppix 3.4 CD rather than compile them myself - maybe the modules need to be 'owned" by user= dsl but I did not see this problem on my setup...
well, the permissions of bluez.o is:

-rw-r--r--    1 dsl      staff       49132 Jan  6 03:43 bluez.o
drwxrwsr-x    2 dsl      staff        2048 Jan  6 20:24 bnep
drwxrwsr-x    2 dsl      staff        2048 Jan  6 20:24 cmtp
-rw-r--r--    1 dsl      staff       26008 Jan  6 03:43 l2cap.o
drwxrwsr-x    2 dsl      staff        2048 Jan  6 20:24 rfcomm
-rw-r--r--    1 dsl      staff       15376 Jan  6 03:43 sco.o

so I change his user and group to root:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        49132 Jan 25 16:57 bluez.o
drwxrwsr-x    2 dsl      staff        2048 Jan  6 20:24 bnep
drwxrwsr-x    2 dsl      staff        2048 Jan  6 20:24 cmtp
-rw-r--r--    1 dsl      staff       26008 Jan  6 03:43 l2cap.o
drwxrwsr-x    2 dsl      staff        2048 Jan  6 20:24 rfcomm
-rw-r--r--    1 dsl      staff       15376 Jan  6 03:43 sco.o

#insmod bluez
Using /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluez.o
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluez.o: create_module: Operation not permitted

but with sudo:

#sudo insmod bluez
Using /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluez.o

it's OK

the next step with insmod hci_usb it's the same, so perhaps I have to change the user and group of all the files, no problem.

My bluetooth device is a pcmcia card, so I think that a don't have to use hci_usb, do you know witch? (hci_uart or hci_vhci or bluecard_cs or other)

thanks.
Onyarian: the # means that it should be executed with super-user privileges, which I think you didn't and so you had to use sudo.
According to Google:

(The four drivers below are for PCMCIA Bluetooth devices:
<M> HCI DTL1 (PC Card) driver
<M> HCI BT3C (PC Card) driver
<M> HCI BlueCard (PC Card) driver
<M> HCI UART (PC Card) device driver

This is for the 2.6.x kernel but I seem to remember at least one of these being present in the modules I copied from the Knoppix CD - you could try them one by one and see what happens.
