[Bluez-users] ISSC USB dongle patch

[Bluez-users] ISSC USB dongle patch

[Al Chane]

Hi,

     I have an ISSC USB dongle and search the last year's archive to find 
the patch to
make it work with BlueZ.

     I just wonder how it works. What's black_ids[] for and the purpose of
adding .driver_info = HCI_RESET?

struct usb_device_id bluetooth_ids[]
struct usb_device_id ignore_ids[] or black_ids[]

thanks a lot,

Al



=================================================================
it looks like that this device needs the HCI_Reset before it can run an
inquiry. Funny is that every other HCI command work without it. Try the
attached patch.

Regards

Marcel

in the hci_usb driver from the 2.6.12 kernel we have bluetooth_ids and
blacklist_ids structures. The bluetooth_ids is the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE
which is used for automatic module loading. It includes the generic
Bluetooth USB class and some weird devices where the class descriptor is
broken. With the blacklist_ids we define needed hacks and workarounds
for dongles that not fully comply to the Bluetooth HCI specification.

One of these workaround (aka quirks) is HCI_RESET. It means that we have
to send an HCI_Reset command first, before continuing with the normal
initialization sequence. In general a HCI_Reset is not needed, because
the device should be in a sane state after the USB plugin.

The case I needed to add the HCI_Reset to the ISSC dongle was that the
inquiry is not working when you don't send it.

Regards

Marcel
