I have followed a number of different guides/how-to's and almost have my HP (Broadcom) USB Bluetooth dongle going.
I have compiled Bluetooth support into my 2.6.11 MM sources kernel: Code: # # FIR device drivers # # CONFIG_USB_IRDA is not set # CONFIG_SIGMATEL_FIR is not set # CONFIG_NSC_FIR is not set # CONFIG_WINBOND_FIR is not set # CONFIG_TOSHIBA_FIR is not set # CONFIG_SMC_IRCC_FIR is not set # CONFIG_ALI_FIR is not set # CONFIG_VLSI_FIR is not set # CONFIG_VIA_FIR is not set CONFIG_BT=m CONFIG_BT_L2CAP=m # CONFIG_BT_SCO is not set CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM=m CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM_TTY=y # CONFIG_BT_BNEP is not set # CONFIG_BT_HIDP is not set # # Bluetooth device drivers # CONFIG_BT_HCIUSB=m # CONFIG_BT_HCIUSB_SCO is not set # CONFIG_BT_HCIUART is not set CONFIG_BT_HCIBCM203X=m CONFIG_BT_HCIBPA10X=m CONFIG_BT_HCIBFUSB=m # CONFIG_BT_HCIDTL1 is not set # CONFIG_BT_HCIBT3C is not set # CONFIG_BT_HCIBLUECARD is not set # CONFIG_BT_HCIBTUART is not set # CONFIG_BT_HCIVHCI is not set dmesg registers the dongle being plugged in: Code: Bluetooth: L2CAP ver 2.7 Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.5 Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized The bluetooth service starts just fine: Code: # /etc/init.d/bluetooth start * Starting Bluetooth ... * Starting hcid ...
