I'm pretty sure that I've followed the instructions properly from here: http://howto.pilot-link.org/bluesync/index.html However, it doesn't work. When I try to get my Palm T|X to scan for Bluetooth devices, it sees nothing. This is under Debian Etch (i386) with bluez-utils 3.7-1. I'm running kernel 2.6.24.6. I'm looking at two possible sources of the problem: 1) a bluez software failure (probably in sdpd) or 2) a firmware requirement for the Anycom. Sdpd seems to enable SDP by default; however, I wouldn't begin to know how to evaluate if SDP actually working. For the firmware requirement, I've installed bluez-firmware, but the package seems to do nothing. The /usr/share/doc/bluez-firmware/README file only discusses compilation and installation, and README.Debian only says that hotplug is requires, but hotplug is not compatible with Etch. I need to find out how to use the binary firmware files in /usr/lib/firmware (which are evidently intended for my adapter). The Anycom USB-250 has a Broadcomm chipset, and I've heard that Broadcomm needs firmware to work. Someone please tell me how to get either sdpd to work properly or the firmware installed. Thanks. (I also asked a similar question in debian-user.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
