I have a D-Link dbt-120 dongle. This has been working fine with a bluetooth GPS. However today I tried to use it and I could not connect to the GPS.

When I plug the dbt-120 in the /dev/rfcomm0-255 are created. If I try a 'cat /dev/rfcomm0' I get cat: rfcomm0 No such device. Previously a 'cat /dev/rfcomm0' would return everything the GPS was sending.

Anyone know what is going on here?

Thanks,

Gene

you should check that "rfcomm -a" reports your bindung with the GPS device. Check if hcid is runninng and run "hcidump -x" to see what is going on. And of course find out what you have changed.
