Hi all,
I have an Asus A4S (A4S-Q002H) equipped with a Toshiba usb BT device (CSR chipset).
I use a kernel 2.6.18 (gentoo-sources) and I recompiled it to make BT working, but after many attempts the system can't see the device.
I read that on Toshiba laptops the bluetooth device isn't enabled by default, but it needs to be turned on with dmabt (this solution doesn't work with ACPI-enabled kernel). I must consider my Asus laptop as a
Toshiba laptop regarding the bluetooth device?
Thanks. Best regards.

toshset -bluetooth on

at least on debian, toshset is an optional app provided by the distro.

doh. looks like a dead end. it's likely you need some kind of acpi magic but it would have to be provided through the acpi module for your machine.

It's not toshiba_acpi, it's the toshiba module:

But why do you think that your ASUS notebook will need the toshiba SMM module? Is it manufactured by Toshiba?

Ok. It is still a weird idea :-)

I do not think it has anything to do with it being a toshiba bt device. It is probably just a USB device that can be activated with some Fn-Fx hotk= ey.
Maybe there is something the asus_acpi module can do for you under =

/proc/acpi/asus, but from looking at its source code you probably need to add support for your machine first.
