Greetings; gnubie to bluetooth that is. I bought some dongles to replace a cable that is just long enough to present EMP surge problems between this box and a bluetooth kit installed to replace the connector in an RS-232 pack for a legacy computer, an old TRS-80 Color Computer 3 that has all the goodies in it that 20 some years of development can give. I get this from demsg: [ 8.884948] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.14 [ 8.885051] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized [ 8.885054] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized [ 9.112240] Bluetooth: Generic Bluetooth USB driver ver 0.4 [ 21.015636] Bluetooth: L2CAP ver 2.11 [ 21.015639] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized [ 21.165128] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3 [ 21.165131] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast [ 21.245887] Bluetooth: SCO (Voice Link) ver 0.6 [ 21.245890] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized [ 22.084606] Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized [ 22.084616] Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized [ 22.084618] Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.10 But no new devices are being created by udev. hciconfig -a: hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 11:11:11:11:11:11 ACL MTU: 672:3 SCO MTU: 48:1 UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN RX bytes:1104 acl:0 sco:0 events:45 errors:0 TX bytes:445 acl:0 sco:0 commands:45 errors:0 Features: 0xff 0x3e 0x85 0x38 0x18 0x18 0x00 0x00 Packet type: DM1 DM3 DM5 DH1 DH3 DH5 HV1 HV2 HV3 Link policy: RSWITCH HOLD SNIFF PARK Link mode: SLAVE ACCEPT Name: 'coyote.coyote.den-0' Class: 0x4a2100 Service Classes: Networking, Capturing, Telephony Device Class: Computer, Uncategorized HCI Ver: 2.0 (0x3) HCI Rev: 0x1f4 LMP Ver: 2.0 (0x3) LMP Subver: 0x1f4 Manufacturer: CONWISE Technology Corporation Ltd (66) Where do I go from here. What I need to do is run a session of minicom to it but minicom cannot find the device either. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
