[Bluez-users] IBM Thinkpad A31p and Bluetooth

[Jason Van Patten]

Hi folks -

I'm trying to get the Bluez bluetooth drivers working in kernel 2.4.22 on my
new IBM Thinkpad A31p.  The laptop has a built-in (miniPCI?) bluetooth
controller in it, but I'm uncertain of the brand/model/etc.

# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Tainted: P  
hci_usb                 9752   0  (unused)
rfcomm                 38080   0  (unused)
l2cap                  19948   1  [rfcomm]
sco                    11084   0  (unused)
bluez                  40676   0  [hci_usb rfcomm l2cap sco]

# hciconfig status
Can't get device info: No such device

# cd /usr/src/linux
# find . -name bluetooth.o -print
# 

Any ideas as to what I can try?  Perhaps I've missed a step or something?

Thanks.

the Bluetooth adapter in this notebook is a USB based from CSR and it
should work perfect with the hci_usb driver. Have you switched the
Bluetooth device on?

When you say "switched the Bluetooth device on" do you mean like my Palm? 
My goal is to get the laptop and the Palm chatting with one another via
Bluetooth.

However, given the reading I've done (and it's quite possible I've misread,
so forgive my ignorance) the hci device should show up regardless of whether
there's another BT-enabled device around.

# hciconfig -a
# 

I'm not seeing anything.

as I know the IBM notebook's have a switch near the keyboard to switch
the Bluetooth device on and off. Or maybe there is a BIOS option. What
do /proc/bus/usb/devices say? I know that the IBM Ultraport module don't
set the Bluetooth class in the USB descriptor, so maybe we have another
one.

I went hunting through the BIOS for something like that and didn't find
anything.  The manual isn't very handy and only mentions the option of
Bluetooth once.  A quick hunt around the keybd also comes up with nothing.

this can be a problem, but I after searching a little bit I find some
texts that say such a switch must be there and that Bluetooth is working
with your notebook:

No Bluetooth device attached to the USB bus. You have to switch it on ;)

I found the tiny button just now, after staring straight at it for the last
couple of days.  Duh.

I was successful in getting the Palm and laptop to find one another via BT;
thanks a bunch for all the help.  Now, is there any way to get an
application like jpilot to sync over BT?  I need to point it at a /dev
device; typically a serial or usb connection.  Does hci0 have a /dev
representation of some sort?

Thanks, and again I'm sorry about the newbie questions.

I don't know if it's possible to get jpilot or gnome-pilot running with
Bluetooth, but pilot-xfer works atleast:

     1) Make your Palm able to connect to the computer using=20
        PPP over Bluetooth. (This is somewhat complicated - search for
        "linux bluetooth ppp tungsten" or similar to get some howtos.)

     2) Run "pilot-xfer -p net:any -s ." etc.=20

The Gnome MultiSync project looks interesting but I don't know if Palm
is supported. The Gnome Bluetooth project also looks promising.

send me the output of "hciconfig -a" after you brought this device up
and I can add the information to my list.

I don't have a Palm, but I assume that this device can also sync over
Bluetooth directly, because the only thing that it needs is a RFCOMM
connection. The SDP records of the Palm are not in the public browse
group, so it will be difficult to find the correct one and of course
they will use some uuid128. The Nokia phone 6310 for example have also a
special service record that allows them to run their own protocol over
Bluetooth and we now have to find the special SDP record for the Palm.
Please, can someone post the result of a SDP search with --tree option
for the OBEX push profile.

Regards

Marcel

Thanks for the pointer, that seems to have done the trick.  Jpilot will use
net:any as a device to sync the Palm after the PPP-over-BT is configured.

It's a few extra steps than I wanted to take, but oh well.  It works.

Thanks!

seems that Palm uses default record handle number scheme. Please check
the records 0x10000 and onwards for values.

I've tested 0x10000 through 0x1007f with interesting results on 0x10000
and 0x10001.
