List,
	I am running a 2.6.5-rc3-ben0 kernel with a sid installation on a
1.25GHz 15" Aluminum PowerBook G4, which has built-in Bluetooth.
Although bluez-utils installed just fine and all of the messages on
startup indicate that hcid, rfcomm, l2cap, etc. are starting just fine,
I have no Bluetooth device available.  At first I thought it was
because I did not have an appropriate device driver compiled as a
kernel module, but I think I have eliminated that possibility (see
kernel config excerpt below).  When I run 'hcitool dev', nothing shows
up:

What debian branch are you running ? You need the hid2hci tool included
in the bluez-utils package in unstable.
It didn't work on my Powerbook G4 15" with linux-2.6.5 (caused a kernel
oops when switching from hid to hci) but it works great with a 2.6.7

I tested today and file transfer worked between my computer and a Dell.

Hope this helps,

Alain,
Thanks for the reply. By sid installation I meant the unstable branch. I forgot to include the error from hid2hci; here it is:

$ hid2hci
No devices in HCI mode found

	By the way, where did you get your 2.6.7 kernel/sources?

Thanks,
