Reply-To: BlueZ development List-Id: BlueZ development List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: bluez-devel-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: bluez-devel-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Marcel, Thanks for answering, Aside from vmware, we also tried qemu and the dongle was working, but it was very slow. The whole emulator was locked and reacted from time to time, thus we could do a discovery in 5 minutes... We were told this was a qemu issue which used blocking IO, but an irda usb device was working correctly. Do you have some ideas about this?
