I am able to add RFCOMM support. Giving problem for BNEP and HIDP support.
I can't upgrade kernel version since it is a montavista custom linux
kernel for specific board.
Can any one help me out in cross compilation of BlueZ utils and libs
for MIPS flatform?
Regards

what is the difference between adding RFCOMM support and BNEP or HIDP?
To do it right you need the correct patch and most changes made by the
-mh patch are only to the Bluetooth subsystem. The other changes of this
patch are only to backport some needed things.
