Greetings again; by blindly modprobing just about everything in /lib/modules/`uname - r`/kernel/drivers/bluetooth and retrying blueman-manager, I finally hit the magic twanger in the right place and its working. Now, it seems to me I should be able to add a stanza in /etc/udev/rules.d/bluetooth-serial.rules to make this completely automatic on boot. Here is what I have modprobed now that makes it work: [root@coyote bluetooth]# lsmod |grep rfcomm rfcomm 23697 23 l2cap 32434 18 rfcomm,bnep bluetooth 39235 11 btsdio,hci_uart,rfcomm,sco,bnep,l2cap,btusb What would a new stanza for udev/rules.d/bluetooth-serial.rules that will make this work for every boot look like for this bt button/dongle?
