[Bluez-users] TDK Bluetooth PC Card

[Bluez-users] TDK Bluetooth PC Card

[Bernhard Gehl]

Hi there,

It might be just me being stupid, but it seems I cannot figure out how 
to get the TDK Bluetooth PC Card running - even though it's listed in 
the compatibility list as "working".

My system is a Debian Sarge box with the 2.6.10 kernel-image from the 
unstable branch (not that unstable though).

The card as read by the cardmanager:
   product info: "TDK", "Bluetooth PC Card", "", ""
   manfid: 0x0105, 0x4254

Problem number one was that this card (or the seemingly identical IBM PC 
Card II) doesn't seem to be listed in the /etc/pcmcia/bluetooth.conf 
that comes with the Debian-Sarge standard Bluez-package and therefore 
the cardmanager didn't have a clue what to do with it. However I don't 
really know how that entry in the config file is supposed to look like.

I've already tried the following:

	card "TDK PCMCIA Bluetooth Card"
	  manfid 0x0105, 0x4254
	  version "TDK", "Bluetooth PC Card", "", ""
	  bind "serial_cs" class "bluetooth"

with the result of (syslog):

	cardmgr[7528]: socket 0: TDK PCMCIA Bluetooth Card
	cardmgr[7528]: executing: 'modprobe serial_cs'
	kernel: ttyS14: detected caps 00000700 should be 00000100
	cardmgr[7528]: executing: './bluetooth start ttyS14'
	kernel: ttyS14 at I/O 0x1e0 (irq = 10) is a 16C950/954

That brings me to problem number two: there is no /dev/ttyS14 in my 
filesystem. I suppose "mknod" would be the suitable tool to create this 
entry but I have no idea what parameters would be necessary.

Frankly said I'm not even sure if that's the right approach to the problem.

Thanks for the advice!
Bernhard

install udev and the device node will be there. After that you must run
"hciattach ttyS14 tdk".
