bfusb 1.1 firmware loading and rc-scripts

bfusb 1.1 firmware loading and rc-scripts

[Matthias Thomae]

Hello Marcel, list,

since upgrading from bfusb 1.0 to 1.1 I have problems creating bluetooth 
connections at system start form the rc-scripts on a debian/unstable 
system, such as PAN or CMTP connections.

I think this is because the old bfusb version was returning only when 
the firmware has finished loading into the dongle (which takes a few 
seconds), whereas the new version returns immediately and loads the 
firmware in the background. Is this correct? When putting "sleep 10" in 
one of the rc scripts, it works as before.

Is there a way to detect when the firmware loading is finished, or would 
you consider to change back to the old behaviour?

Regards.
Matthias

the firmware loading routine is the same and blocks until the firmware
is loading. The only difference is where the firmware file comes from.

The current driver is working fine and the firmware loading is finished,
when the HCI device is created.

I see. Then it must be some other change I did which causes the 
different behaviour...

I wasn't meaning to imply that the driver didn't work fine, it even 
works *very* fine for me :)

Ok, then the rc-scripts might need to wait until the hci device is up?
Or would you rather handle this through a daemon which has a --persist 
option like pand?
Edd, what do you think?

if you really need it, what about bluetooth.agent ;)
