 |
|
bluetooth used to work here, but i don't use it very often. so i cannot say since when exectly it doesn't workt anymore.
what i notice is that hciconfig doesn't return any output. nothing:
bt services start normally; dmesg doesn't contain errors but normal bluetooth messages.
what could it be? anything changed in the basic BT configuration recently?

try to start /etc/init.d/dbus
before bluetooth or ...
#hciconfig hci0 up
or when you type (if it's a USB device)
#lsusb
it shows a bluetooth device? |

I remember doing the dbus-thing and lsusb.... but today I found the real reason:
My kernel didn't have the "HCI USB driver". Must have happened during one of the last kernel updates. Not using bluetooth often I didn't notice then.
So, compiled the module and... voilà. Works again!  |
