[Bluez-users] Bluetooth support on FC3

[Bluez-users] Bluetooth support on FC3

[Mandalia Hiren-AHM047]

Hello,

I recently installed Fedora Core 3 on my laptop. Before that I used Fedora Core 1. My Bluetooth USB device worked perfectly on FC1 but on FC3 it doesn't. when I do a "hciconfig -a up" it shows my USB device but BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 , and everything else zero. Basically it reports Bluetooth device DOWN.. following is the script..

hci0: Type: USB
BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0
DOWN
RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0
TX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 commands:0 errors:0

Any idea whats going on?

Thanks
Hiren

Hi Hiren,

the bluetooth device must be UP in order to be usable (and see the BDAddress
with hcitool). Probably, hcid is not started in your current
configuration so the module is not automatically put UP as soon as it is 
plugged.

or if you just want to put the module UP, then
hcitool hci0 up
is what you're looking for.

Alain

Thanks Alain. I tried that. The device now goes up for a while and resets after a few seconds. Any idea why that is happening?

Thanks,
hiren
