I have an HP compaq nc6220 that has a built in bluetooth module. It is an internal module that connects via USB, but I can not see it with the 'lsusb" command. I do not see any option to enable or disable Bluetooth in the BIOS.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to enable the bluetooth device, without having to install Windows.
Hi Andrew, I have the HP compaq nc6000 and it has a hardware button above the top of the keyboard which switches both wireless and bluetooth on/off. OpenSUSE 10.3 just acts as if they were just plugged in or removed. I also have the following kernel module loaded... laptop:~ # lsmod | grep blue bluetooth 57172 8 bnep,rfcomm,l2cap,hci_usb ...and the apps running. laptop:~ # ps -A | grep blue 2449 ? 00:00:00 bluetoothd-serv 4196 ? 00:00:02 kbluetooth Hope this info helps a little. -- Kind Regards, Ritchie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ritchie Fraser Web: http://www.rpfraser.uklinux.net Registered Linux User #255860
