[Bluez-users] Unsupported bluetooth device?

[Bluez-users] Unsupported bluetooth device?

[Atomic]

Hi all,
I have an Asus A4S  (A4S-Q002H) equipped with a Toshiba usb BT device (CSR 
chipset). 
I use a kernel 2.6.18 (gentoo-sources) and I recompiled it to make BT working, 
but after many attempts the system can't see the device.
I read that on Toshiba laptops the bluetooth device isn't enabled by default, 
but it needs to be turned on with dmabt (this solution doesn't work with 
ACPI-enabled kernel). I must consider my Asus laptop as a 
Toshiba laptop regarding the bluetooth device?
Thanks. Best regards.

toshset -bluetooth on

at least on debian, toshset is an optional app provided by the distro.

I tried compiling toshiba support in the kernel as module, but `modprobe -v =

doh. looks like a dead end. it's likely you need some kind of acpi magic
but it would have to be provided through the acpi module for your machine.

It's not toshiba_acpi, it's the toshiba module:
seife@strolchi:~> modinfo toshiba
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.18-14-default/kernel/drivers/char/toshiba.=
ko
license:        GPL
author:         Jonathan Buzzard <jonathan@buzzard.org.uk>
description:    Toshiba laptop SMM driver
vermagic:       2.6.18-14-default SMP mod_unload 586 REGPARM gcc-4.1
supported:      yes

srcversion:     4084FFFFC74CA02E5586716
parm:           fn:User specified Fn key detection port (int)

CONFIG_TOSHIBA=3Dm

But why do you think that your ASUS notebook will need the toshiba SMM
module? Is it manufactured by Toshiba?

You're right...

As I wrote in the first post, I only need to turn on the bluetooth device =

manufactured by Toshiba. Brad Midgley in his first replay to my post =

suggested me to use toshset to turn on the device.
Toshset requires toshiba support in kernel. =


# ./toshset -bluetooth on
required kernel toshiba support not enabled

Do you know another way to turn on a Toshiba BT device without having a =

Toshiba laptop?
Thanks.

Ok. It is still a weird idea :-)

I do not think it has anything to do with it being a toshiba bt device.
It is probably just a USB device that can be activated with some Fn-Fx hotk=
ey.
Maybe there is something the asus_acpi module can do for you under =

/proc/acpi/asus, but from looking at its source code you probably need to
add support for your machine first.

OK. It was my doubt. So I have to forget all Toshiba laptop related solutio=
ns.

Yesterday I fixed the original DSDT on my laptop and I'm going to supply it=
 to =

acpi4asus developers if they hold as correct my fixes.
Seems the only thing I can do is waiting for the support in acpi4asus modul=
e, =

hoping that it is enough to make BT device working.
Thanks.
