Re: Bluetooth missing from i586 kernel config?
I've been struggling trying to get my USB bluetooth dongle to work on my i586 based MiniITX since I started trying FC5 (Test 3). The same BT dongle worked fine under the old FC4 installation. From what I can see, in the installed i586 kernel (2.6.15-1.2025_FC5) the drivers and net modules are all missing. To prove this I just installed the i686 kernel on another machine and bluetooth worked fine and the relevant directories with modules were present: over-aggressive slimming down of the 586 kernel. I had fixing that on my TODO, but it got bubbled down by other things in the last few days. I'll try and get to it tonight. Dave Thanks Dave! I'll stop hitting my head off the it's a configuration issue brick wall and put bluetooth use on hold till it's fixed. :-) Brian

Bluetooth missing from i586 kernel config?
Hi, I've been struggling trying to get my USB bluetooth dongle to work on my i586 based MiniITX since I started trying FC5 (Test 3). The same BT dongle worked fine under the old FC4 installation. From what I can see, in the installed i586 kernel (2.6.15-1.2025_FC5) the drivers and net modules are all missing. To prove this I just installed the i686 kernel on another machine and bluetooth worked fine and the relevant directories with modules were present: i.e. /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2025_FC5/kernel/drivers/bluetooth /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2025_FC5/kernel/net/bluetooth This seems to have been the case for all kernel builds I've tried in the past few weeks. Is this just an error in the config file used to compile the i586 kernel, or a concious decision to leave it out (in which case, shouldn't the bluetooth service be removed too as it's throwing errors on every boot?). I'm hoping it's just an error, as I can't bear to think about having to figure out how to manually compile every single new kernel from source just to get bluetooth back on my mini-itx machine! :-( Brian
