there was an article in pcquest which had info on using a bluetooth dongle with gnome 2.4 and kernel 2.6. it was CSR (Cambridge Silicon Radio) chipset based USB Bluetooth dongle and configured it under PCQLinux 2004 yu can check the same at http://www.pcquest.com/content/search/showarticle.asp?artid=56058 i've not used it myself, nor do i have any intentions at all to install pcqlinux 2004, but if it works with pcqlinux then it should work with any distribution with kernel 2.6 as it has built in bluetooth (and afaik SigmaTel IrDA too) support. and if yu use gnome as well, then sone pe suhaga http://usefulinc.com/software/gnome-bluetooth http://usefulinc.com/software/phonemgr/#shots so, yu can use nautilus to transfer files :-) please do let me know if anything works out for yu. i was not successful using SigmaTel USB-IrDA dongle with kernel 2.4 inspite of adding stir4200.o module and enabling IrDA. i used obex to transfer files, and when i tried to send files from my nokia 6600 it did show the filename on the system but nothing happened :-( so, please please please let me know if yu are able to successfully use the phone (6600), atleast to transfer files -- \|||/ (o o) --------------------------------ooO-----(_)-Ooo- | vivek | GPG Key: | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://exain.net/vike | |------------------------------------------------| | Registered Linux User: #305493 | ------------------------------------------------ ( _ ) _| | | |_ (___| |___) _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
