Dear all,

when i couldn't get bluez on lsmod and l2test and scotest command, does it mean my bluez is not installed properly? If so, how do i get it done?

I understand that fedora core 2 is preinstalled with bluez, how do i get it loaded then instead of the bluetooth?

Sincerely
Ricky

hmm, not sure, i'm afraid this is slightly beyond my help then. maybe one of the many how-tos on the bluez site can help you out. or one of the other people on the mailing list. i don't think bluez creates any devices for you by default under /dev
if your software requires the existence of something specific under /dev with bluetooth, does it provide any documentation?
Quoted 158 lines · --- Ricky Soh
cos i was running a software that requires the existence of that
folder. Do i add that folder in myself? i doubt so.
My l2test and scotest are not available as well.
Why?
Is there a way to set bluetooth to passive mode
only.

adapter.

Hi Ricky,

I understand that fedora core 2 is preinstalled with bluez, how do i get it loaded then instead of the bluetooth?

I don't understand what you mean. If you have the command hciconfig and if it shows an adapter then BlueZ is installed and working.

Regards

with a 2.6 kernel the core module is named bluetooth.ko and not bluez.o and the l2test and scotest commands are never installed by default.
