If you have a USB dongle, then the devices using that dongle are not Bluetooth devices as far as your system is concerned, they are USB devices, so they would not need or use the system's Bluetooth driver.
Uhm, not quite 100% true. Odds are it will use the btusb driver, which in turn depends on bluetooth, btrtl, btintel and btbcm which will, in
their turn, load up various firmware files and such.
The Bluetooth driver is only needed if your system has a hardware Bluetooth device in it and you are using that to connect your peripherals.
Not necessarily. Many laptops have the bluetooth built in, but it is internally tied to the USB system (visible in a "lsusb -v"). In fact, come to think of it, I don't know that I've ever seen a built-in bluetooth connected to the PCI bus. But that's just me. I'm not saying it's never been done, but I've not seen it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital [email protected] - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Perseverance: When you're too damned stubborn to say "I quit!" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
