My question regards setting up the bluez package and a misconception regarding the bluetooth stack. A search on my machine for 'bluez' turns up ---------------------begin search [root@localhost bluez-firmware-1.0]# find / -name bluez* /usr/lib/pkgconfig/bluez.pc /usr/src/bluez-firmware-1.0.tar.gz /usr/src/bluez-hcidump-1.10.tar.gz /usr/src/bluez-hciemu-1.0.tar.gz /usr/src/bluez-libs-2.9.tar.gz /usr/src/bluez-pin-0.23.tar.gz /usr/src/bluez-utils-2.9.tar.gz /usr/src/bluez-libs-2.9 /usr/src/bluez-libs-2.9/bluez.pc.in /usr/src/bluez-libs-2.9/bluez.pc /usr/src/bluez-utils-2.9 /usr/src/bluez-firmware-1.0 /usr/src/bluez-pin-0.23 /usr/src/bluez-pin-0.23/bluez-pin-gpe.glade /usr/src/bluez-pin-0.23/bluez-pin.glade /usr/src/bluez-pin-0.23/bluez.conf /usr/src/bluez-pin-0.23/po/bluez-pin.pot /home/dl/bluez-firmware-1.0.tar.gz /home/dl/bluez-hcidump-1.10.tar.gz /home/dl/bluez-hciemu-1.0.tar.gz /home/dl/bluez-libs-2.9.tar.gz /home/dl/bluez-pin-0.23.tar.gz /home/dl/bluez-utils-2.9.tar.gz /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluez.o ---------------------end search You will notice(on the last line) that the bluez module is installed only for the 2.4.20-8(redhat 9) kernel and not my 2.6.7 kernel. So I went ahead and downloaded bluez-libs-2.9 bluez-utils-2.9 bluez-firmware-1.0 bluez-pin-0.23 The bluez site says that the minimum is to install bluez-libs and bluez-utils. I installed those and recompiled my kernel(2.6.7). From the listing above you will see that the new kernel does not have the bluez module. The README file in the bluez-firmware directory reads, In order to install Bluetooth firmware you need following software packages: - Linux Bluetooth protocol stack (BlueZ) So where is this bluetooth protocol stack? I assume it is in either bluez-libs or bluez-utils. In my kernel configuration options, I do not see a Bluez bluetooth module, the closest thing is BlueFritz. What option should I use and/or how do I add it to the kernel? Perhaps a kernel patch will do the trick. I downloaded kernel 2.6.8.1 from www.kernel.org and applied patch 'patch-2.6.8-mh1.gz' from the bluez.sourceforge.net site. Although the patch went just fine I can see that there are no BLUEZxyz options like there are in the 2.4.20-8 kernel config file. How in the world do I add these options to my new kernel? I have read a lot about USB and Bluetooth to the point that I am getting confused. Anyone with clear insight as to how things work or instructions on setting up BLUEZ please respond. Thank you in advance. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
