Deker The hciattach etc patches for gumstix are buried in their openembedded package, but come to think of it that was special case stuff for the internal adapter. You'll use an external so you should be able to use the latest and greatest packaging of bluez. That might mean replacing the gumstix packge with something direct from the OE guys. You might need to learn more about how OE packages and distros work. To test things on your laptop, use the docs at wiki.bluez.org to set up audio. You might be able to use d-bus calls to get the HFP negotiation you need. It's easiest to prototype that stuff in python using the examples in the wiki.
