Configuration: System is RH9 with 2.4.20-31.9 kernel and bluez RPMs installed. Card is HP version of 3COM card, part number 3CRWB6096-HP Firmware .bin file for the card taken from a working W2K installation has been installed. Much searching of FAQ/howto was done. A few edits have been done based on this searching: /etc/modules.conf added these alias: net-pf-31 bluez, bt-proto-0 l2cap, bt-proto-2 sco, bt-proto-3 rfcomm /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf was modified just to change the entry pin_ helper to point to a shell script (the original reference to a file in /bin was going nowhere), and a /etc/bluetooth/bluepin was created that echoes back PIN:00. Given this, here is my procedure from cold start: 1. Card installed, "cardctl insert" command issued. 2. /var/log/messages reports card detected, firmware loaded, and bluetooth start hci0 executed At this point it also reports /sbin/hotplug no runnable bluetooth. agent installed. 3. Issue hciconfig hci0 up, then executing hciconfig hci0 shows "UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN" and some bytes received and transmitted 4. Set phone to discoverable (necessary so that hcitool scan and l2ping will work) 5. Issue hcitool scan, and the MAC address of the phone and it's name are shown 6. Issue l2ping and the MAC address, and replies are received (0 bytes from... time xx mS) 7. When l2ping executed, the message "BlueZ L2CAP ver 2.1" was written to /var/log/messages Now at this point I am getting lost. My wish is to have the phone usable for dial-out, and it appears the next command to use is "rfcomm ". I've set up the command rfcomm bind 0 (mac address) 0 when executes without error, and another message in /var/log/messages appears, referring to "BlueZ RFCOMM ver 1.0" Now at this point I can issue another command, just rfcomm, and it prints rfcomm0: (mac address) channel 0 clean My wish is to get to the point where I can use minicom to issue "AT" commands, and I've tried configuring minicom to communicate via /dev/ ttyUB0, but nothing happens (no echo, no sign of activity in the phone.) This is where I would be grateful for help!
