Hi all! A little help... Cannot get to work BCM2045B2 MiniPC bluetooth module found in my Dell Vostro 1400. Various pages states it "work out of the box" but not for me...
I installed all the stuff bluetooth, bluez-utils, bluez-firmware (BCM203x), bluez-audio, bluez-pcmcia, python-bluez, kbluetooth I managed to modprobe hci_usb and/or bfusb(?) Bluetooth led always off I haven't WinXP or Vista, and i can't install them A couple of questions: 1. A little summary about how to make a new initramfs image with new modules? Why bluetooth modules is not called from kernel on boot? ( i try an update-initramfs -u ) 2. I think i need a firmware for this feature, isn't right? ehre can i find it? 3. How i implement this path? Or, is this patch implemented in kernel 2.26-1 amd64? uname --all Linux piccolino 2.6.26-1-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 15 17:25:36 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux lsmod Module Size Used by nvidia 8105072 26 rfcomm 38176 2 hidp 19072 2 l2cap 23936 14 rfcomm,hidp bluetooth 57124 5 rfcomm,hidp,l2cap ipv6 288328 10 acpi_cpufreq 11792 1 cpufreq_powersave 6400 1 cpufreq_stats 9120 0 cpufreq_conservative 11784 0 cpufreq_ondemand 11792 0 freq_table 9344 3 acpi_cpufreq,cpufreq_stats,cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_userspace 8452 0 dm_crypt 17032 0 sbp2 25356 0 loop 19468 0 ide_cd_mod 36360 0 cdrom 37928 1 ide_cd_mod usbhid 45792 0 hid 41792 2 hidp,usbhid ff_memless 9224 1 usbhid uvcvideo 55560 0 compat_ioctl32 12288 1 uvcvideo videodev 35840 2 uvcvideo,compat_ioctl32 v4l1_compat 17284 2 uvcvideo,videodev joydev 14848 0 snd_hda_intel 434776 1 snd_pcm_oss 41760 0 snd_mixer_oss 18816 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 81672 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss arc4 6272 2 snd_seq_dummy 7428 0 ecb 7296 2 crypto_blkcipher 21636 2 dm_crypt,ecb snd_seq_oss 33152 0 snd_seq_midi 11072 0 snd_rawmidi 26784 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 11904 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq 54304 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event piix 12424 0 [permanent] iwl3945 92916 0 ohci1394 32564 0 sdhci 19460 0 firmware_class 12544 1 iwl3945 snd_timer 25744 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 11668 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq ieee1394 93816 2 sbp2,ohci1394 mmc_core 52448 1 sdhci mac80211 162864 1 iwl3945 ricoh_mmc 8448 0 i2c_i801 13596 0 serio_raw 9860 0 ide_pci_generic 9220 0 [permanent] led_class 8968 1 iwl3945 iTCO_wdt 15696 0 i2c_core 27936 2 nvidia,i2c_i801 ide_core 128284 3 ide_cd_mod,piix,ide_pci_generic snd 63688 11 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device pcspkr 7040 0 psmouse 42268 0 tg3 97156 0 cfg80211 30224 2 iwl3945,mac80211 soundcore 12064 1 snd snd_page_alloc 13072 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm ata_generic 10116 0 video 24212 10 output 7808 1 video ehci_hcd 36108 0 wmi 11712 0 ac 9352 0 battery 16904 0 button 11680 0 intel_agp 31728 0 uhci_hcd 25760 0 dcdbas 11952 0 evdev 14208 10 ext3 125072 4 jbd 51240 1 ext3 mbcache 12804 1 ext3 dm_mirror 20608 0 dm_log 13956 1 dm_mirror dm_snapshot 19400 0 dm_mod 58864 8 dm_crypt,dm_mirror,dm_log,dm_snapshot sd_mod 29376 9 thermal 22688 0 processor 42304 4 acpi_cpufreq,thermal fan 9352 0 thermal_sys 17728 4 video,thermal,processor,fan ahci 33036 8 libata 165472 2 ata_generic,ahci scsi_mod 160760 3 sbp2,sd_mod,libata dock 14112 1 libata sudo lsusb -vs 001:003 Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0a5c:4500 Broadcom Corp.
