Hi everyone,

Just to let you know that my MX900 (Logitech BT mouse) works like a
charm under Linux 2.6(7)-mh1. I now use hidd and the mouse is
automatically detected. Thanks a lot to Marcel for a great
implementation... two thumbs up!!

Now, I would like to learn more about BT. Is there a good book that can
turn a dummy into a knowledgeable Bluetooth person ? I am looking for
something starting with an overview of the layers and services but also
covers the protocols, algorithms (notably handshakes, encryption and
authentication) and the bits in the air. If you recommend two or three
books, this is still good. I just do not want to read the specs before I
even understand the big picture.

thanks again,

fred

May you wanna take a look at http://www.bluez.org/books.html

I learned most from "Connect Without Cables". The time I read it, this
was only covering Bluetooth 1.0b. The new revision should cover 1.1 as
well, but I don't know a book that writes about Bluetooth 1.2.

Regards

Marcel
