There is only one standard Linux driver, bluez, which in your case appears to be running. But some chips require firmware to be installed on your computer - you'd have to check the bluez documentation to see if this applies to your ISS chip. You could try "hcitool scan". If this actually finds something then your bluetooth device _is_ working. You have to "pair" it with another device to do anything useful. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
