Re: [Bluez-devel] [ANN] Zaurus BlueZ kernel packages for ROM v3.10

Hi Stephen,

I don't want to preempt the official packager of the Zaurus BlueZ
distribution but I couldn't wait for Sharp to get around to distributing
the kernel source and needed to try out BlueZ on the new ROM.

So I built BlueZ kernel modules from a vanilla 2.4.18 plus Marcel's
2.4.18-mh6 patch-set and a bit of tweaking to the 2.4.6 kernel config
file. 

quoted

From cursory testing, they seem to be ok: bluecard_cs is successfully

loaded and the latest versions of hciconfig, hcitool and sdptool all
work fine. (However YMMV, no warranty, don't blame me if your Z catches
fire, etc.)

I've uploaded them to our anonymous ftp area, along with the PCMCIA
configuration files, bluetooth and bluetooth.conf. Get them from
ftp://rococosoft.com/pub/zaurus

Installation:
* unpack the tar-ball in the /home/root/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix
directory
* run depmod -ae
* install bluetooth and bluetooth.conf in /etc/pcmcia
* run /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart

the current Zaurus packages are done by Joseph Ecker and the kernel
modules are based on the deprecated bluez-kernel-2.3 package. It seems
that it is really time to have up-to-date kernel modules for the Zaurus.
Frist I don't like Joseph last choise to put the userspace tools and the
kernel modules into one big package. I like to see the kernel stuff
seperated from the userspace tools. However I have no Zaurus, so I can't
help with that. But some time ago I put some scripts in the BlueZ kernel
CVS repository which makes it possible to compile and install the
Bluetooth modules outside the kernel source. Maybe you should take a
look at it and provide some easy to install ipk packages.

The OpenZaurus project will use a 2.4.19 in future and hopefully they
include my patch. Do anyone have details about this.

Regards

Marcel
