Re: [Bluez-users] NEC usb bluetooth support

Ok, thanx to Marcel, i looked again, and no patches/source code changes
are needed. The error

	hci_usb: probe of 7-2:1.1 failed with error -5

is spurious, and the device still works just fine.

Another one to add to the list of working with linux bluetooth devices ;-)

Thanks
Mitch

Hi Mitch,

Yup i do have an entry (see below), and i've managed to get it to load, but by
hacking the hci_usb.c to remove the lines

  	/* Check number of endpoints */
	if (intf->altsetting[0].desc.bNumEndpoints < 3)
		return -EIO;

It looks like since there's multiple interface descriptors for the device (see
attachment), and bNumEndpoints is only equal to 3 in one of them, then the test
fails and returns EIO. I don't know if this check should be removed altogether since
we subsequently iterate thru all the interfaces to get the endpoints.

hciconfig shows me 2 interfaces - is this correct ?

this is wrong. The second interface on the USB layer is for the SCO
audio support and in normal cases correct recognized by the driver. This
is why the above check is in the code. If you not have three endpoints
on the first interface it is not a USB Bluetooth device. Please check
your device with 2.4.23.

Regards

Marcel
