[Bluez-users] Can CNet USB dongle work with BlueZ?

["Stewart Nelson" <sn@scgroup.com>]

Hi,

I'm new to Bluetooth and would like to place calls on a Mot. V551
from Asterisk, using chan_bluetooth.  Although a recent Asterisk
is installed, the base system is Asterisk@home, running
2.4.21-27.0.1.EL kernel.

bluez-libs and bluez-utils compiled and installed with no
apparent error, but:

# hciconfig
Can't open HCI socket.: Address family not supported by protocol

dmesg shows (partial):
hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-1, assigned address 2
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0xc10/0x0) is not claimed by any active driver.

lsusb -v shows (partial):
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0c10:0000
Device Descriptor:
  bLength                18
  bDescriptorType         1
  bcdUSB               1.10
  bDeviceClass          224
  bDeviceSubClass         1
  bDeviceProtocol         1
  bMaxPacketSize0        64
  idVendor           0x0c10
  idProduct          0x0000
  bcdDevice           15.00
  iManufacturer           1 SiW
  iProduct                2 SiW

Pardon my ignorance, but is the "not claimed" error caused by the device
being unsupported, or do I need to somehow enable the driver(s)?
(The dongle can talk to the phone ok under Win XP.)

If the former, is there some way to force a driver association, to see
if it will work?

If this dongle is not suitable, what do you recommend for such an
application?

Thanks,

Stewart
