So as not to take another thread off-track, I was wondering if a Linux guru out there could instruct me on how to do something. You see, I have a laptop, a bluetooth PCMCIA card, and a bluetooth mouse. I'd like to get the three living together in harmony, but the laptop is running linux, and the PC card's manufacturer seems to not even have Windows drivers on their site, let alone Linux support. I have found this page, though, which indicates that it's possible. However, everything on there is greek to me, and I'm not very familiar at all with Linux yet (I'm running Ubuntu). Is there a kind soul out there that could help me get this working?

I can try  I don't have the card, use Debian not Ubuntu, and I don't use the stock kernels either so I can't guarantee success OTOH I did get a bluetooth USB dongle to talk to my Nokia headset so I've done a bit... I don't know your experience so say 'obvious' if it is and 'eh' or something if I'm not clear enough. Open a shell and become root. Ok - so what kernel do you have? uname -a will tell us. Make sure the hardware is in and then we have a look at what modules are installed: lsmod If hci_uart and serial_cs aren't in the list then do: dmesg | tail -30 to see the last system messages - this is just so later on you can recognises the last line and see if anything is added then: modprobe serial_cs modprobe hci_uart to probe the modules (ie look for dependencies and then load them etc) do a dmesg | tail -30 to see if the system says anything about them At this point the kernel should know about the hardware - so now we need some user applications to make them do useful things,,, hciconfig is a good start

This is going to be embarrassing for me I need to stop you at the first instruction. I think I understood it, but I'm having trouble. Does "shell" also mean "terminal?" I've been able to use that okay from time to time, but I looked up how to "become root," and I've typed "su -" and it asks me for a password. I typed the only password I've used on this machine (it's a brand new install), and it says authentication failure. Is there a standard password or something? Thanks for the help, by the way. *edit* Nevermind, I figured out how to change the root password. I always ask a few research attempts too early

serial_cs was there but hci_uart was not, so I ran that part. The new lines were: [ 3108.524000] Bluetooth: HCI UART driver ver 2.2
[ 3108.524000] Bluetooth: HCI H4 protocol initialized
[ 3108.524000] Bluetooth: HCI BCSP protocol initialized I tried running hciconfig but nothing happened. And here's the kernel: Linux dignanlaptop 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Fri Feb 1 04:59:50 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

but I looked up how to "become root," and I've typed "su -" and it asks me for a password. The best way from an Ubuntu install (if I remember right) is not to directly run the "super user" command, but instead to run "sudo <command>" You can do "sudo su" to change to root for an entire session, but it's best to just use sudo on a command by command basis when root access is needed. sudo runs commands at root level, after authenticating using your normal user account. I can't remember how the user management worked in Ubuntu, but OS X calls users with sudo access administrators.

I have a couple of Kubuntu boxes and use sudo -i to jump to root if I'm going to be there a while. I just put my ordinary user password in.
I picked up some bad habits using Gentoo and found myself always logging in as root.

I'll try to do that in the future, but any idea how to get this bluetooth stuff working? *edit* I've done some further research. If you follow the second link in my initial post, the writer talks about using the BlueZ bluetooth stack to get the card to work. Well, it appears that since the time of writing that (2006), BlueZ has become part of Ubuntu. That's what I have on here already. So I don't understand why it's not working. I've found this page with some info. Search for "Zoom Bluetooth PCMCIA Card." Does any of that info help? **edit 2** I've stumbled across this thread, which appears to be exactly what I'm looking for (sounds like the "support" for this card isn't as good as advertised), but I can't get their very first lines to work. I tried entering: sudo hciattach ttyS1 zoom But I just got back: BCSP initialization timed out (I also tried ttyS0 - same result) ***edit 3*** Just to add as much info as possible, I ran an lspcmcia -v and got the following results: Socket 0 Bridge: [yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: 0000:02:09.0)
Configuration: state: on ready: unknown

What happens if you do "hcitool scan"?

Hmm, OK, so it's definitely the driver for your PCMCIA card that is the problem. This was after having done the "modprobe serial_cs" and "modprobe hci_uart"? They need to be redone after each boot.

If you've rebooted, get to the point where lspcmcia shows the device and lsmod shows hci_uart
Then try:
hcitool dev
Have a look at /etc/default/bluetooth
(yell if it's missing)
Set BLUETOOTH_ENABLED=1
ignore the rest for now.
Then try:
/etc/init.d/bluetooth start
and try:
hcitool dev
and
hcitool scan
again.

and

again. Did all that, everything was as it should be, but the last two commands still insist that no device exists. Running lspcmcia just after booting shows the device just as I quoted above. I emailed the person who posted this, and he responded to me. According to him, nothing needs to be done. For him (and he has the exact same card), he just needs to insert the card, the OS detects it automatically, and he's good to go. Maybe it's my laptop... *edit* ...Does it tell you anything if the boot process for Ubuntu takes about 5-7 minutes? I get a black screen for all that time, then the login screens. If this means anything (like hardware support failure?), is there a way to get a boot log that someone here could read for me?

Having the log as an attachment might make it easier for others to peruse. But seems the bluetooth stuff was detected and started up OK.

Hmm. Just realized you have a Toshiba. Try
/usr/bin/toshset -bluetooth on

Sorry about that. I liked the way the new board compresses the stuff inside the code tags. I tried that command and got: required kernel toshiba support not enabled.

Strange, the ubuntu installation should have enabled the toshiba extensions in the kernel. OK, you'll have to generate a new kernel with the Toshiba support enabled. If you feel up to it: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu

Maybe he just needs to insert a module? (I'm totally unfamiliar with Toshiba kernel extensions; this is just a guess.)

Did all that, everything was as it should be, but the last two commands still insist that no device exists.
This kind of thing sucks  I just don't do it enough to do effective remote diagnosis - sorry When I'm doing my own diagnostics it's a mixture of knowledge, googling and observing all kinds of weird details - such as when LEDs start flashing on the card etc etc. If I had the same hardware it'd be easier - I keep coming back to it to see if inspiration strikes though Running lspcmcia just after booting shows the device just as I quoted above. I emailed the person who posted this, and he responded to me. According to him, nothing needs to be done. For him (and he has the exact same card), he just needs to insert the card, the OS detects it automatically, and he's good to go. Maybe it's my laptop... *edit* ...Does it tell you anything if the boot process for Ubuntu takes about 5-7 minutes? I get a black screen for all that time, then the login screens. If this means anything (like hardware support failure?), is there a way to get a boot log that someone here could read for me? This sounds like your monitor isn't displaying lo-res (vga) signals. Does the BIOS show up when you power on? This is v. unlikely to affect the card though.

For him (and he has the exact same card), he just needs to insert the card, the OS detects it automatically, and he's good to go. The problem with something like the exact same card, is that it can be very difficult to tell whether that is actually true or not. The lspci/lspcmcia data is the best for accomplishing that. The manufacturer's model/revisision number on the card/package/etc are often much less useful. Cheers

The problem with something like the exact same card, is that it can be very difficult to tell whether that is actually true or not. I agree, but after finding that guy's page, I've found at least three people on the Ubuntu forums who, while they had difficulties, were able to get their cards to work with the OS. Doesn't it seem unlikely that they'd all have different versions of the card? I don't think Zoom made the card long enough to have different versions... This might just not be worth it. I may see if anyone on Craigslist wants to trade old laptops with me. Mine isn't worth much, but I'd be happy to start over again with different hardware. At the very least I could experiment with the live CD on another laptop and see if it works.

This might just not be worth it. Heh.. I kinda just assumed it, and that you were doing this purely for the sake of curiosity. After all, a simple USB bluetooth dongle might cost all of $10 (or less), and would definitely "just work". Cheers

After all, a simple USB bluetooth dongle might cost all of $10 (or less), and would definitely "just work". You're absolutely right. I did want to tinker around a bit with this, and it's given me a little taste of some Linux stuff. I also knew I could go get a really cheap bluetooth adapter, but I liked this card because I could just leave it in all the time. I found the Kensington adapter that Tony posted in another thread, but it's a bit too expensive for me right now, and I don't even know if that one will work with Ubuntu. I'll think about it for a while. I haven't compiled anything since a CS class in my freshman year of college, but it would be good experience for me.

Well, I'm ashamed to say it, but I gave up. I went out and bought a Kensington bluetooth adapter, and it worked in Ubuntu instantly. I still ran into the same problem this guy did, but the suggestion of the first response worked for me. I am now happily using my portable bluetooth mouse in Ubuntu. At this point I don't fault Linux for anything that happened with the PC Card. It's one that's barely supported in Windows by the drivers that come with the thing, so I didn't expect Linux support to be easy. I do find it a tad annoying that I had difficulty with the second adapter. Still, I'm happy with it now, and I'm looking forward to using Linux. Thanks for your help, everyone. I may not have had the problem solved, but your help gave me some valuable experience with a new OS. Does anyone have a good beginner's guide to Ubuntu or Linux in general?
