[Bluez-users] Can't get BT working on an iBook G4

[Bluez-users] Can't get BT working on an iBook G4

[Alberto Garcia Hierro]

Hi all list,
	I'm trying to setup BT on my iBook G4 (builtin BT), but i can't. As far as=
 I=20
know, it's a usb device, so i modprobe hci_usb. Then, i tryed with hcitool,=
=20
but it doesn't show any device:


americana ~ $ modprobe hci_usb
americana ~ $ /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
 * Starting Bluetooth...                                                [ o=
k ]
americana ~ $ hcitool dev
Devices:

	hcid and sdpd are running:

americana ~ $ ps aux |egrep "hcid|sdpd"
root      8905  0.0  0.0  1656  612 ?        Ss   00:27   0:00 hcid:=20
processing events
root      8907  0.0  0.0  1640  584 ?        Ss   00:27   0:00 /usr/sbin/sd=
pd
root      8921  0.0  0.0  1568  528 pts/0    S+   00:28   0:00 egrep hcid|s=
dpd


	The most strange think it's i got it working some months ago, and i think =
i=20
did the same things. Here is the relevant part of my .config


	CONFIG_BT=3Dm
	CONFIG_BT_L2CAP=3Dm
	# CONFIG_BT_SCO is not set
	CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM=3Dm
	CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM_TTY=3Dy
	CONFIG_BT_BNEP=3Dm
	CONFIG_BT_BNEP_MC_FILTER=3Dy
	CONFIG_BT_BNEP_PROTO_FILTER=3Dy

	#
	# Bluetooth device drivers
	#
	CONFIG_BT_HCIUSB=3Dm
	# CONFIG_BT_HCIUSB_SCO is not set
	CONFIG_BT_HCIUART=3Dm
	CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_H4=3Dy
	CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_BCSP=3Dy
	CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_BCSP_TXCRC=3Dy
	CONFIG_BT_HCIBCM203X=3Dm
	CONFIG_BT_HCIBFUSB=3Dm
	CONFIG_BT_HCIVHCI=3Dm

	I've spent three hours searching on google, bluez.org and the list archive=
s=20
and i can't find any solution. I'll be very happy is someone can't help me.=
=20
TIA.=09
