[Bluez-users] can't open hcid socket

[Vinod]

Hi All.

I am trying to send create a bluetooth connection
between my ipaq 3870 running familiar v0.8.2,GPE,
(2.4.19 .. hh37) and a desktop with usb dongle.

I was following a link
http://opie.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/BluetoothGprs

But i ran into trouble,

#/etc/init.d/bluetooth start

i got

Starting Bluetooth subsystem: hcid sdpdCan't open HIDP
control socket: Invalid argument
 hidd rfcomm.

This is what the log had to say

root@h3600:/var/log# cat /var/log/messages
Oct 21 12:14:40 h3600 syslog.info syslogd started:
BusyBox v1.00 (2005.04.07-12:
08+0000)
Oct 21 12:14:48 h3600 daemon.info hcid[5948]:
Bluetooth HCI daemon
Oct 21 12:14:48 h3600 daemon.err sdpd[5952]:
init_server: binding L2CAP socket:
Address already in use
Oct 21 12:14:48 h3600 daemon.err sdp

I found a bug report on this

Bug
report:https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5247

There were some more posts on the web with similar
problems but i did not find a concrete solution.

Can anyone tell me what is going wrong? The l2cap
socket 'address already in use' is somethign that may
be causing it or somethign with the hcid interface. I
have two serial ports on my desktop, one of which i am
using as a serial console to my ipaq. I am  a newbie
to bluetooth and don't understand the protocols well
enough yet.

Thanks,
Vinod

this means that the hidp kernel module is missing.
