[Bluez-users] No hci-Device available

[Albert Schmid <aschmid@bawue.de>]

Hello,

I tried to use a spare bluetooth stick at my older PC with
Suse 7.3. I checked the kernel config to have USD and Bluetooth
kernel modules available and compiled. Then I downloaded
bluez-libs and bluez-utils software packages and compiled both
successfully. I installed the libs and the utils on my machine
and they seem to work so far (I got help messages,...).

After than I tried the hcitool dev command, but no device is
available. I used modprobe to start hci_usb.o module and I don't
get any error message at the terminal. The lsmod command lists
the modules of the kernel:

Module                  Size  Used by
...
hci_usb                 5120   0
hci                    17344   0  [hci_usb]
bluetooth              17296   1
...
usb-ohci               17680   0  (unused)
usbcore                47264   1  [hci_usb bluetooth usb-ohci]
...


(Ireduced the list)

It seems the bluetooth kernel support is available...

Then I checked my syslog entries and found:

It seems that there is still something wrong with the driver.

Can anybody help me with the correct/missing /etc/modules.conf
entries?

If the hci_usb-Driver is registered correctly, why do I haven't
found any hci-device-file ind the /dev directory?

Do I really need to download 37MB for an newer 2.4.31 kernel to
access the bloototh stick? - I use 2.4.10 compiled by Suse.

I searched the mail-list*s archive but I haven't found any
appropriete to my problem.

Thank you in advance,

Albert Schmid
