Here is how I did it on my Thinkpad T41p and Fedora Core 2 -
- make sure bluez is installed and you are able to modprobe the drivers.
See if the bluetooth dongle is recognised by the modules. If not, read
docs and get that fixed.
Configure Bluez -
- Name the phone, enable bluetooth and make sure that bluetooth
discovery of the phone is enabled.
- Do a hcitool scan
This should show you the phone's ID and any other bluetooth devices
around
- sdptool browse <address of Bluetooth phone>
- pick serial port channels (0 or 1) from the list (4 and 5 for my Sony
Ericcccccsssssson T610) and also the object push channel (10 for my SE
T610).
- Configure these in /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
- service bluetooth restart (check equivalent on knoppix)
This does the following -
- Runs the hcid, sdpd daemons
- Runs rfcomm to bind to the bluetooth serial port
- Runs hciattach (go figure)
I also had to make the rfcomm devices as they are not created by
default.
- mknod /dev/rfcomm0 c 216 0
- mknod /dev/rfcomm1 c 216 1
Whatever phone software you use on linux -
- Use /dev/rfcomm0 as the serial port for the phone
- Use address of phone as Bluetooth address wherever applicable
