Everything were working perfect untill I updated to kernel 2.6.19. The devices could not connect to my workstation anymore - got a timeout error. Currently I am running: Workstation: gentoo-2006.1, kernel 2.6.19-r2 bluez-libs 2.25 bluez-utils 2.25-r1 In my workstation's log I found: kernel message: rfcomm_tty_ioctl: TIOCGSERIAL is not supported. and the /dev/rfcommX device is not created. For troubleshooting I had a look at you patch 2.6.18-mh8 and found out that this patches tty.c. I found out that "reversing" the patch at net/bluetooth/rfcomm/tty.c In function: static struct device *rfcomm_get_device(struct rfcomm_dev *dev) .... /*tty_register_device(rfcomm_tty_driver, dev->id, rfcomm_get_device(dev));*/ tty_register_device(rfcomm_tty_driver, dev->id, NULL); is enough to get everything working again. So my questions: is this a bug or do I have to change my setup? Is there any other solution than patching the file each time updating the kernel? regards, johoe ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
