I see the following messages in dmesg: Bluetooth: Core ver 2.16 Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3 Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast
Does this mean there is a bluetooth transceiver active on this Dell mother board? If so, I never knew it in all the years I have had this system which is about 16 or 17 years. Another old Dell optiplex running wheezy also produces exactly the same messages when running dmesg. Is there any utility I can run to see if they are alive and useful? I ran across these accidentally when I was looking for something else and now it has my curiosity peaked; something new to play with. Thanks. Martin McCormick
