Networking :: Bluetooth problems



Hi, Juanito

I am making some progress...

I have proved bt3c, bluecard, and hci_uart and only with hci_uart have I some responses:

#insmod bluez
#insmod hci_uart
#insmod l2cap
#insmod rfcomm
#hcid
#hciattach /dev/ttyS0 any 57600
#hciconfig hci0 up
Can't init device hci0: Connection timed out (110)
#hciconfig
hci0:   Type: UART
         BD Adress: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0
         DOWN
         RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0
         TX bytes:12 acl:0 sco:0 commands:3 errors:0

and now I don't know how to continue, seems like hci0 not identify the pcmcia and don't comes up

I am looking some manuals but now I am a litle lost...
I think _cs (cardbus?) are related to pcmcia, so maybe loading bluecard_cs might help you out.
^thehatsrule^ with bluecard_cs there are no response

In this page says that for Conceptronic CBT100C the driver is hci_uart, but I have do a lot experiments without connection

Bluetooth hardware support

in dmseg I see that the bluetooth pcmcia is recognized as ttyS17, so with
#hciattach /dev/ttyS17 any 57600
seems ok
but after this with
#hciconfig hci0 up
Can't init device hci0: Connection timed out (110)
#hciconfig
hci0:   Type: UART
        BD Adress: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0
        DOWN
        RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0
        TX bytes:12 acl:0 sco:0 commands:3 errors:0

I have a USB bluetooth dongle too (Conceptronic CBT56) and connects perfect, I have connected with my pocket_pc without problems

So..., perhaps I have to forgot my pcmcia card and utilize the USB dongle  :(

(Juanito, thanks for the bluetooth howto's, if the pcmcia don't work I want to continue your notes with the USB).
Finaly I got it!!!!!! :D

all the secuence is:

#insmod bluez
#insmod hci_uart
#insmod hci_vhci
#insmod sco
#insmod l2cap
#insmod rfcomm
#hcid
#hciattach -s 57600 /dev/ttyS17 bcsp
#hciconfig hci0 up
#hciconfig
hci0: Type: UART
BD Adress: 00:10:60:AA:52:DE ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8
UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN
RX bytes:1674 acl:7 sco:0 events:33 errors:0
TX bytes:870 acl:6 sco:0 commands:24 errors:0

the hciattach command has a different form and the trick is to put 'bcsp' at the end, because the CBT100C  is a little special.

Wahooooooooo!!
