Well, there's a couple of hoops needed to jump through in order to make this thing work. It's not a "set this value to make it work", it's "upload this firmware blob to make this thing work." I don't have any clue what the right order is to poke these BT devices (and even when i was working at QCA, finding documentation on the bluetooth devices was difficult!) and how they should behave. This whole "it detaches right after I load the sysconfig file" thing is quite annoying. adrian
