[Bluez-users] Zoom Bluetooth PCMCIA Card

[Bluez-users] Zoom Bluetooth PCMCIA Card

[Johnathon Meichtry]

Hi everyone,

Has anyone managed to get the *Zoom Bluetooth PCMCIA card* working with 
the btuart_cs driver?  It's man.id us is the same as the CyberBlue CF 
Card but when inserted I get the following:

*btuart_config: No usable port range found
btuart_cs: RequestIO: No more items*

Yet i have ample resources and when inserted in the same machine (a 
laptop) running XP the Widcomm drivers load fine so there is no hardware 
compat. issue.

The odd thing is that on Marcel Holtmanns pages there is one with CIS 
data (http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/cis.html) and in there is 
the CIS for this card yet the 2.6 kernel btuart_cs driver is unhappy for 
some reason.  I have tried all the other drivers (by editing 
pcmcia/config) and none work to the point where "hciconfig dev" shows a 
valid device.  I have even edited the source for btuart_cs and added 
some additional IO ports but that do not seemed to have helped.  I even 
added some additional IRQ's to pcmcia/config.opts.

FYI I am running Gentoo 2.6.9-rc1 with the mh3 patch applied and 
bluez-libs v2.1, bluez- utils v2.1-r1 and bluez-kernel v2.3.

BTW Marcel & the team if you read this post thanks for all your work on 
bluez, I have another laptop with a Xircom CBT card in it and for months 
it has worked well thanks to all your effort.

Johnathon

I lately get my hands on the Zoom PCMCIA card and it works fine with the
hci_uart and serial_cs driver. Use "hciattach <dev> bcsp" and it should
also work for you.

Thanks. Did the Xircom card worked with a 2.6 kernel? Mine doesn't.

Regards

Marcel

Marcel,

Your right, it works fine with serial_cs and bcsp.  FANTASTIC!!!! 

The Xircom CBT works fine in 2.6 although quite flakey as the card is 
prone to dropping device connections (which it does in Windows XP as 
well).  Personally I don't like the Xircom card, it is problematic and 
does not seem to support HID's.

Once again, many thanks,

Johnathon

good to hear.

The only problem with the Xircom card is that it contains a very very
old firmware and unless this firmware has some role switch bugs, it
should also support HID.
