Hi all,

just un update for the records.

I tried with plain 2.6.10 (from debian kernel-source package, without any
patch other than Debian's) and it seems to work fine with my BT keyboard & mouse. Only
needed an "hidd --connect" after inserting the dongle (the one coming with
the keyboard).
It might be that in the future I will experience the problems hinted by
Marcel, but for now I am happy :-).

I'm trying now to make the dongle work with my SonyEricsson T610; for now the
phone it is discovered (and is capable to discover the PC), but I'm not
yet succeeded to use OpenObex tools with the bluetooth connection.
But that is another story.

Question: what would be the advantage now of applying the 2.6.10-mh1 patch
to sthe standard kernel sources?

Ciao
