[Bluez-users] Q: bluetooth dongle for Linux/Sparc?

[Bluez-users] Q: bluetooth dongle for Linux/Sparc?

[Raimund Steger]

Hello,

can anyone recommend a particular bluetooth device that will expectedly
work with little problems on my Sun Ultra10 (Linux 2.4)?

Searching in the mailing list archives, I discovered that

1) Kernel post-2.4.19 is required for serial devices
2) generally, a USB interface card in conjunction with a USB
   device is recommended

I would generally prefer to use the machine's serial ('sunsab') interface.
But I will in fact switch to the USB solution if that will work
more reliably.

The compatibility list linked on the Bluez website lists a few
serial devices. Can all these be used on Sparc?

Thank you!

-Raimund

I never tested any serial Bluetooth device with my Ultra 10, but the USB
approach is working fine.
