Sure it can be done, but nobody with a sane >> mind is doing it for free. after attempting to patching the 2.6.27 bluetooth changes on to 2.6.24[ie., drivers/bluetooth & net/bluetooth] & used the latest BlueZ . Tested the same with headsets for music & voice(worked fine),but the HID device didnt not work. We need to work with bluetooth on 2.6.24 as there is a dependancy on the others drivers present in kernel 2.6.24. For HID over Bluetooth to work does it have a dependancy on other kernel drivers/modules(apart from drivers/bluetooth & net/bluetooth modules). Any clues in this regard will be helpful.
