Hello,

I know this is a problem that's have been on this list for more than once. However, since I gave it somre more time trying to make the card work without success, I would really appreciate it if someone could take a look into my description and let me know if he/she has any insights.

I have an AmbiCom BT2000E card. The identification:

product info: "AmbiCom,Inc", "BT2000E", "Bluetooth PC/CF Card"
manfid: 0x022d, 0x2000

Inside /etc/pcmcia/bluetooth.conf:

card "AmbiCom BT2000E Bluetooth Card"
version "AmbiCom,Inc", "BT2000E"
manfid 0x022d, 0x2000
bind "serial_cs"

So far, so good.

hciattach /dev/ttyS1 ericsson

would return with no errors, however hcid will be unable to take device up and return a timeout.

The MAC address of the device would be all 00's.

I knew, from the past, that a kernel patch may help. I found it on this list and eventually applied it from:

http://www.summet.com/x31/socket.html

Still, hcid timed out:

Aug 25 19:55:58 hulud hcid[2954]: Sending read scan enable command 
failed: Connection timed out (110)
Aug 25 19:56:00 hulud hcid[2954]: Can't read address for hci0: 
Connection timed out (110)
Aug 25 19:56:07 hulud hcid[3108]: Can't init device hci0: Connection

timed out (110)

Then I stumbled into this post to the list:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=11189831

So I tried setserial /dev/ttyS1 baud_base with various values, low as well as high, each time - trying hciattach -s <selected speed> /dev/ttyS1 ericsson.
Each and every time I had the same problem - hcid could not bring the interface up.
I've also tried appending a speed to hciattach, to no avail.

I forgot to mention that I'm on a 2.6.17.11 kernel. Has this card been reported to work for anyone on a 2.6 kernel?

I will appreciate any help anyone can give.

Thank you all in advance,
ERan

Hi,

you should use bcsp type, not ericsson.
Try:

setserial /dev/ttyS1 baud_base 912600
hciattach /dev/ttyS1 bcsp -s 912600
hciattach hci0 up

(where /dev/ttyS1 is the serial dev reported by PCMCIA subsystem) It works fine with my Hamlet HCFBT2, that should be an Ambicom BT2000E clone (same PCMCIA manfid ...).

Ciao

Hi!

First, thanks for the advice.

Second, I've just tried it and got:

[root@hulud /etc/bluetooth]# hciattach /dev/ttyS1 bcsp -s 912600 BCSP initialization timed out

It doesn't matter if I try it with or without special speeds... it still wouldn't do.

Any ideas?

Did you setserial /dev/ttyS1 baud_base 912600 ?
Your dmesg?

I'm using kernel 2.6.16.16.

Hi,

Yes, I did setserial as you wrote (also tried that to many different speeds).

dmesg shows nothing, but then again - I'm on a 2.6.17.11 kernel compiled by myself.

I've added some debug printouts in the serial driver. I will mail them to you , if you are interested...
