If yes, is the menu "bluetooth on/off" in > mobilephone means that the power of BRF6100 is turned on/off? the BRF6100 is a ROM chip, right? We need a special init routine for it and the last code I've seen was a mess, because it was Windows code. This needs a rewrite and I am only doing this if someone sends me a development kit with that I can test it. The other possibility is that someone cleans the code and sends me a patch for it. If you need special support, then tell TI to open their documents and sponsor the BlueZ project with hardware. Or choose a chip manufacturer that is more open source friendly. For example CSR.
