[Bluez-users] bluetooth 1.2 and 2.0 dongles support

[Bluez-users] bluetooth 1.2 and 2.0 dongles support

[Esteban Monturus]

	Hi Marcel,

	I have some other questions about BlueZ I had forgotten to ask you, so 
here they go:
1.	I would like to buy a 2.0+EDR dongle to use with BlueZ. I have visited 
your "Bluetooth device features and revision information" page, but I 
haven't found any one. Does BlueZ support Bluetooth 2.0+EDR?.
2.	I have a Cellink BTA-3120 dongle. Although Cellink says that it is 
Bluetooth 1.2 compliant, when I use it with BlueZ, the HCI version I get 
with hciconfig is 1.1. Is that wright?

3.	I also have an old Belkin F8T001 dongle. When I plugged it BlueZ loaded 
always some firmware stuff and it worked properly. My old version of BlueZ 
had a bluez-bluefw-1.0-202 rpm packet. I think this is equivalent to the 
new tarball bluez-firmware that I have downloaded from BlueZ's homepage and 
installed, but the reality is that this dongle doesn't work anymore.

	Thank you again and best regards,

	Esteban.

yes. EDR is fully supported.

Send in the "hciconfig hci0 features" output.

Use bluez-firmware and the bcm203x kernel driver for the 2.6 kernels.

Marcel

Re: [Bluez-users] bluetooth 1.2 and 2.0 dongles support (I have AVM Bluefritz! V2.0)

[Christian Schuglitsch]

Dear Linux Bluetooth users,
I've bought a bluefritz2.0 dongle because AVM has a page that says that 
this dongle works with Linux.
This may be true for wireless ISDN/DSL but not for headsets/8khz duplex 
audio connections. After pairing I'm stuck.

Well, I've checked the CSR partners page but I haven't found any 
interesting vendor there.

I've found some well known like MSI or Samsung but none of them reaches 
the quality of AVM ( including 5 year warranty).
MSI sells graphics cards with wrong firmware, mainboards with disabled 
USB-Ports and Samsung device always fail ( DVD drive, HDD, DV camera).
I don't trust them.

And of course I like hardware that runs with open source drivers that 
don't require any firmware files. E.g. I've bought a Twinhan DVB card 
instead of a Avermedia 771. It's all about diversity and choice ;)

snd-bt-sco isn't compatible with Bluefritz but maybe there's someone in 
this world who can develop another driver module. I just wonder how this 
was done the Windows way ( I don't have Windows).
I'm just a poor apprentice and I know it isn't very attractive if I 
donate 50€ but I can't give more support :-(

Thanks for reading

Schugy

Re: [Bluez-users] bluetooth 1.2 and 2.0 dongles support (I have AVM Bluefritz! V2.0)

[Brad Midgley]

Christian,

Is AVM the manufacturer? It's a good idea to start with them. Ask them 
about their support page and why support doesn't include voice audio. 
You can tell them to hire Marcel and provide him documentation. We can 
dream, eh?

Ideally the manufacturer should at least play a role in facilitating 
driver support rather than standing in the way as we've seen some do.
