I'm using a Ubuntu Feisty, which is only a few weeks old; bluez-utils appears to be the critical package, containing hcid (that seems to do the work) and /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf (that declares the Bluetooth service). I can't find any documentation describing how to set all this up, though... [...] > On 5/9/07, Marcel Holtmann wrote: >> to be quite frankly, then don't ask me about it.

On my system, there are two instances of dbus-daemon occupying 432 pages and 304 pages respectively, an instance of dbus-launch with 244, and an instance of hcid with 348. There are also two *more* instances of dbus-daemon, but they may be specific to the user and so irrelevant. Even so, that's still a total of 1328 pages, or 5312kB. That's just not *reasonable* on a system with low memory, especially since Bluetooth will be the only thing that uses it. Since all this code is going to have to go through the kernel interface anyway to get anything done, it's far more appropriate to use that instead. Particularly since there's a helpful library, hcilib, that wraps the kernel interface and makes it easy to use. (And which, BTW, is recommended by all the tutorial code I've been able to find.) I was hoping that someone would be able to point me at the document that specifies what this interface actually *is*. -- David Given dg@tao-group.com This message is subject to Tao's e-mail terms ( http://e.tao-group.com/1 ) Tao Group Ltd, 62/63 Suttons Business Park, Suttons Park Avenue, Reading, Berkshire RG6 1AZ.
