Greetings; Where can I find a tut to tell me how to make this device: [root@coyote bluetooth]# lsusb -v Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0e5e:6622 Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 1.10 bDeviceClass 224 Wireless bDeviceSubClass 1 Radio Frequency bDeviceProtocol 1 Bluetooth bMaxPacketSize0 16 idVendor 0x0e5e idProduct 0x6622 bcdDevice 1.34 iManufacturer 0 iProduct 0 iSerial 0 [...] [root@coyote bluetooth]# dmesg |grep Bluetooth [ 8.987403] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.14 [ 8.987489] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized [ 8.987492] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized [ 9.114808] Bluetooth: Generic Bluetooth USB driver ver 0.4 [ 21.093799] Bluetooth: L2CAP ver 2.11 [ 21.093801] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized [ 21.235952] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3 [ 21.235954] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast [ 21.315216] Bluetooth: SCO (Voice Link) ver 0.6 [ 21.315219] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized [ 22.169676] Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized [ 22.169685] Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized [ 22.169687] Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.10 [root@coyote bluetooth]# hciconfig hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 11:11:11:11:11:11 ACL MTU: 672:3 SCO MTU: 48:1 UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN RX bytes:1104 acl:0 sco:0 events:45 errors:0 TX bytes:445 acl:0 sco:0 commands:45 errors:0 [root@coyote bluetooth]# lsmod |grep rfcomm rfcomm 35580 4 l2cap 21260 16 rfcomm,bnep bluetooth 52196 11 rfcomm,sco,bnep,l2cap,btusb The modules are loaded obviously, but no /dev/hciN devices are created. How can I turn this usb dongle into a 9600 baud rs-232 look/work alike? I have acquired an rs-232 comm device that had an eb101 bt module instead of a db25 serial port for a legacy computer and intend to replace the cable with the bt circuit. I can now communicate with this old computer using minicom over a serial cable, so I know the idea works, but the cable exposes both machines to the EMP of a nearby lightening strike, something the BT connection will isolate then from. I just fired up the eb101 device on the legacy machine, but this dongle, despite both being called class 1 devices, and about 25 feet between them, has made no new entries in dmesg since I powered up the other one. I would like to think the device discovery would apply but apparently not. Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
