Return-Path: From: Gene Heskett To: linux-bluetooth@vger.kernel.org Subject: need understanding about bt Date: Tue, 05 Jan 2010 19:10:08 -0500 MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Message-id: <201001051910.08204.gene.heskett@verizon.net> Sender: linux-bluetooth-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Greetings all; I have a usb dongle that my system finds ok I guess, and when I run blueman- manager, it shows the remote device, an EB-101 that is presently powered up, as 'trusted and bonded'. Kewl I'm thinking. But /dev/rfcomm0 is not being created, so while it appears the devices are talking ok, this box is apparently incapable of using it. The EB-101 has a shell running against it on the other end, and when rfcomm0 is properly made, then I can start a minicom session that is effectively a terminal on the other system. So, how do I reliably get this /dev/rfcomm0 device created? Running kernels in the 2.6.32.x range here. Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
