[Bluez-users] 8250.c kernel patch for Socket CF bluetooth card

[Bluez-users] 8250.c kernel patch for Socket CF bluetooth card

[Kevin Page]

Hi,

Firstly, I can confirm that the patch to 8250.c (posted to this list by
Mathias Adam on 2005-03-05) applies cleanly to 2.6.12 (Fedora patched
kernel 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4), and that with this patch my Socket
CompactFlash bluetooth card works again (without it I get the "BCSP
timed out" error on hciattach).

Secondly, does anyone know if this patch has already been pushed
upstream to the kernel?

Regards,

kev

I have sent it to someone which was mentioned as the maintainer of this
kernel code some time ago, but didn't get an answer...
What else could I/one do to get this into the standard kernel? I don't
know much about linux kernel development processes though...
At least I got notes from a number of people who used this patch
successfully so I think it would be very useful to put it into the
kernel.

Regards,
Mathias

create a patch against the latest 2.6.12-rc6 kernel and post it to the
kernel mailing list.

Regards

Marcel
