hi,
after hours of work i finally get the bluetooth working with linux!
the problem is a defect? firmware with the preinstalled windows vista
notebook.
i have now updated to another firmware after that bluetooth work without
any problems. :-)
an here is a step by step howto. use this on you own risk.
- download the latest bluetooth drivers for windows XP for the d420
currently this is R117967.exe
- extract it anywhere is used c:\dell\drivers\R117967
- run dfu.exe (from c:\dell\drivers\R117967\2kxp\dfu\ this takes some
minutes.
- after that blutooth should work in linux but it dont work anymore in
vista ;-)
- this can be fixed by installing the windows xp drivers
(c:\dell\drivers\R117967\2kxp\setup.exe).
- after that you have to install the new version of the toshiba
bluetooth stack (dell uses this one)
from http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/pages/download.php
the only problem i found out is that the new software is only a 30 day
test version.
but perhaps dell could be so nice and fix this problem. ;-)
another way could be to get the working firmware and upload it via the
dfutool (bluez-utlils). but i don't have tested this yet.
hope this helps other users.
regards,
patrick
