Which software is responsible for bringing the devices (hci0 .. hcix) up ?

Which software is responsible for bringing the devices (hci0 .. hcix) up ?

[Vellemans, Noel]

Hi,
 
 
I have a simple question, I think, But I do not manage to find the
answer into the old mailing-list-posts.
 
I'm using bluez-4.99 and Linux kernel 2.6.35.3. 
 
When plugging in a device (CSR-device) the device is recognized but it
is not 'UP'.
 
Can someone tell me what piece of software is NORMALLY setting the
device into the 'UP' state?
(so that I do not have to type hciconfig hci0 up)
 
 
 
# plug in the device ... results in ...
usb wakeup is here
usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using fsl-ehci and address 3
usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0a12, idProduct=0001
usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0
 
# hciconfig
hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: 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

After manually executing hciconfig hci0 up the device is working fine.
 
# hciconfig hci0 up
# hciconfig

        BD Address: 00:07:80:85:39:07  ACL MTU: 192:8  SCO MTU: 64:8

Hi Andrei,

Any clue what the reason can be, that the device is not comming 'UP'
automatically ?

Hi,

It is an EXTERNAL USB-device plugged in manually, and if it is plugged
in, the device is recognized.

Hi,

>> Do you have bluetoothd running?

OK : You've got it.. I think.

When looking into the process-list with ps , I don't see bluetoothd.

When starting Bluetoothd on the command line .. . before plugging in the
device .. 
the the device is 'UP' like it should be... (you are guiding/pointing me
in the GOOD direction, thankx) 


Next question (Sorry) ? Isn't bluetoothd supposed to be launched by udev
?

Or I'm I missing some startup-script  (/etc/init.d/... ) ?

I just wonder is there somewhere a description on how bleuz (bluetooth)
is started at boot ?


Regards Noel

This depends on your distro, I personally run it manually. I think you
need to enable it via some bluetooth-applet.
