If you haven't already, you will want to emerge 'bluez'. Search the forums for that keyword: I believe there is a How-To for this there. -- Cheers Dg -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Bluetooth driver not bound. Are there special settings required...? Or does this dongle just suck and I should return it and get a more linux friendly one? Any help would be appreciated as this is my first try at bluetooth on linux. -Chris -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list I have the same dongle. From what I read, there are 2 varieties of this part. One is blue and the other is yellow. The yellow works and the blue doesn't. I tried my blue one with bluez and I couldn't get anywhere with it. (You seem to have gotten further.) I eventually gave up and compiled from source, Affix and affix-kernel (version 2.0.2) and have finally been able to send files from the Ericcson T610 phone to the Gentoo box and from the box to the phone. Not all features are working yet but I'm gloating over my hard fought success thus far. Afe (the affix front end) will not build. It complains about python-gtk, but I can start the bluetooth server by doing: $ btsrv -d --nomanagepin then you need to find the phone or other device: $ btctl discovery this will take a default 8 seconds to scan for devices and return the device parameters (note that there will be an alias address for each device found such as +1, +2 etc) using either the full address or the alias do: btctl addpin address as in: btctl addpin +1 then btctl pair +1 your phone will ask for the pin you entered above. Then to push a file from PC to phone, do btctl push +1 somefile.xxx phone will ask if you want to accept the file. Using the phone to send a file to the PC, select the file on the phone and send via bluetooth it will end up in ~/Inbox on the PC I have requested affix, affix-kernel and afe be added to the portage tree in bug # 37193 -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
