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:
That's correct. I just noticed that on boot the bluetooth interface
on
my
laptop is down. In which case hcitool won't show any devices. You can
use
hciconfig to turn on your bluetooth device (works like ifconfig)

Sjoerd,
Would I be able to use hciconfig without a /dev/hciX entry on which
to issue my commands? My attempts to use the program thus far have
been
unsuccessful.
There are never /dev/hci* devices. Bluetooth device work somewhat like
normal
network interfaces.
For example, the following command returns nothing:
$ hciconfig -a
That should indeed output something.. I saw in another mail that you
already
tried hid2hci... Do you have the right usb controller compiled in ?
Otherwise
i don't know what it the problem could be..
