[Bluez-users] Re: bluetooth 1.2 and 2.0 dongles support

Hi Esteban,

Hi Marcel,

quoted

	I have some other questions about BlueZ I had forgotten to ask you, so 
here they go:
1.	I would like to buy a 2.0+EDR dongle to use with BlueZ. I have visited 
your "Bluetooth device features and revision information" page, but I 
haven't found any one. Does BlueZ support Bluetooth 2.0+EDR?.

yes. EDR is fully supported.

I have purchased Cellink BTA-6030 Class 1 Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR dongles

2.	I have a Cellink BTA-3120 dongle. Although Cellink says that it is 
Bluetooth 1.2 compliant, when I use it with BlueZ, the HCI version I get 
with hciconfig is 1.1. Is that wright?

Send in the "hciconfig hci0 features" output.

EWS4:/ # hciconfig hci0 features
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:0A:94:11:77:F5 ACL MTU: 120:20 SCO MTU: 64:0

3.	I also have an old Belkin F8T001 dongle. When I plugged it BlueZ loaded 
always some firmware stuff and it worked properly. My old version of BlueZ
had a bluez-bluefw-1.0-202 rpm packet. I think this is equivalent to the 
new tarball bluez-firmware that I have downloaded from BlueZ's homepage and 
installed, but the reality is that this dongle doesn't work anymore.

Use bluez-firmware and the bcm203x kernel driver for the 2.6 kernels.

How do I use this driver? I have tried to load it with insmod and I get the following:

	EWS4:~/paquetes_rpm # insmod /lib/modules/2.6.4-52-smp/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bcm203x.ko
	insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.4-52-smp/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bcm203x.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module

At the same time the following lines appear in the /var/log/messages file:

	Oct 14 12:38:07 EWS4 kernel: bcm203x: Unknown symbol release_firmware
	Oct 14 12:38:07 EWS4 kernel: bcm203x: Unknown symbol request_firmware

Regards

Marcel

Esteban.

this is a Bluetooth 1.1 dongle.

Load the firmware_class kernel module and place the firmware files
under /lib/firmware/
