Hi all, I have a 3Com Bluetooth PC Card of type 3CRWB6096 (Ver. 2.0, Rev: AA). I'm using kernel 2.6.30.9 on a Slackware 13.0-based system. I have the following problems: - when I insert the pc card, a hci device is created, but the bluetooth MAC address is always all-zero. - I can't bring the newly created interface up, using hciconfig, because it results in a timeout. - if I remove the card using pccardctl eject, and plug it in once more, the kernel panics. (I can't currently attach any hard evidence, as the log doesn't contain anything about this happening.) Here are the outputs of some commands, that describe my system: root@orion:~# uname -a Linux orion 2.6.30.9-orion #4 Sat Jan 2 10:15:52 CET 2010 i686 Mobile Pentium II GenuineIntel GNU/Linux root@orion:~# hciconfig -a hci0: Type: PCCARD BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0 DOWN RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0 TX bytes:4 acl:0 sco:0 commands:1 errors:0 root@orion:~# hciconfig hci0 up Can't init device hci0: Connection timed out (110) root@orion:~# hciconfig hci0 features hci0: Type: PCCARD BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0 Features: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 root@orion:~# hciconfig hci0 commands Can't read support commands on hci0: Connection timed out (110) root@orion:~# hciconfig hci0 reset Can't init device hci0: Connection timed out (110) root@orion:~# pccardctl info 1 PRODID_1="3COM" PRODID_2="3CRWB60-A" PRODID_3="Bluetooth PC Card" PRODID_4="" MANFID=0101,0040 FUNCID=2 I have also added some additional debug messages to the kernel module source, to better see, which code blocks are executed when the card is inserted, and configured: root@orion:/usr/src/linux/drivers/bluetooth# diff bt3c_cs.c.orig bt3c_cs.c 484a485 > printk(KERN_INFO "fwload 1\n"); 494a496 > printk(KERN_INFO "fwload 2\n"); 544a547 > printk(KERN_INFO "fwload 3\n"); 565a569 > printk(KERN_INFO "open 1\n"); 569a574 > printk(KERN_INFO "open 2\n"); 573a579 > printk(KERN_INFO "open 3\n"); 576a583 > printk(KERN_INFO "open 3\n"); 584a592 > printk(KERN_INFO "open 4\n"); 595a604 > printk(KERN_INFO "open 5\n"); 598a608 > printk(KERN_INFO "open 6\n"); 602a613 > printk(KERN_INFO "open 7\n"); 604c615 < --- > printk(KERN_INFO "open 8\n"); 614a626 > printk(KERN_INFO "open 9\n"); 617a630 > printk(KERN_INFO "open 10\n"); 624a638 > printk(KERN_INFO "open 11\n"); 632a647 > printk(KERN_INFO "close 1\n"); 637a653 > printk(KERN_INFO "close 2\n"); 642a659 > printk(KERN_INFO "close 3\n"); 651a669 > printk(KERN_INFO "probe 1\n"); 670a689 > printk(KERN_INFO "probe 2\n"); 671a691 > printk(KERN_INFO "probe 3\n"); 676a697 > printk(KERN_INFO "detach 1\n"); 688a710 > printk(KERN_INFO "check_config 1\n"); 700a723 > printk(KERN_INFO "check_config_np 2\n"); 709a733 > printk(KERN_INFO "check_config_np 1\n"); 720a745 > printk(KERN_INFO "check_config_np 2\n"); 725a751 > printk(KERN_INFO "config 1\n"); 735a762 > printk(KERN_INFO "config 2\n"); 741a769 > printk(KERN_INFO "config 3\n"); 746a775 > printk(KERN_INFO "config 4\n"); 752a782 > printk(KERN_INFO "config 5\n"); 758a789 > printk(KERN_INFO "config 6\n"); 763a795 > printk(KERN_INFO "config 7\n"); 784a817 > PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0x0101, 0x0040), 800a834 > printk(KERN_INFO "init 1\n"); 801a836 > printk(KERN_INFO "init 2\n"); After installing the modified module and inserting the card, I got the following output: root@orion:~# dmesg | tail -n 26 init 1 probe 1 probe 2 config 1 check_config 1 check_config_np 2 check_config 1 check_config_np 2 config 2 check_config_np 1 config 4 config 5 config 6 open 1 open 2 open 3 open 4 open 5 bt3c_cs 1.0: firmware: requesting BT3CPCC.bin open 7 fwload 1 fwload 2 fwload 3 open 8 open 9 config 7 --EJECTING CARD-- pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket1: pccard: card ejected from slot 1 detach 1 close 1 close 2 close 3 Sorry for the long letter, hopefully it will help to track down the problem. If you know about this, or a similar problem, or if it is already fixed in a more recent kernel release, please inform me. Thanks!
