BelkinF81 with Debian Lenny

(sorry subject must be F8T016)

I freshly installed a Debian Lenny on my Packard Bell Dot. I can't connect to anything and I can't find my laptop. I've got no experience whatsoever with BT so here's a little bit more information:

Code:

(no BT device listed ?? )

Code:

eth0 ...

lo      ...

wlan0   ...
wmaster0  Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-23-4E-3D-21-31-65-74-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

dot:/home/wannes#

Above I left out the eth0 lo wlan0 info, but what's the wmaster0 thing doing, I 've never noticed that one before. I checked ifconfig because someone on the internet's BT device was recognized as an ethernet device. I read to blacklist pegasus but that didn't help.

If I try BTscanner, the little led on the BT device starts blinking but nothing is found. So somehow it's working ... If I try to find my computer with my phone, it's not working either?

Someone know's what's missing here?

first you must under stand your brodcom device is a two way radio and a ethercard. the module (driver) for it is in the kernel but the software that runs the radio is not allowed to be distributed. But you are allowed to install it for no cost.

your wifi

1. Connect your computer to the intenet using the wired LAN connection. I.E. Plug in you network cable to the computer in question to connect to the intenet.

2. Go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers. Enter your password.

3. If you see “Broadcom…. wireless driver”, select it and click activate near the bottom of the window. It should be right above the close button. It should activate the driver, and the circle next to the “Broadcom… wireless driver” should be green.

4. Disconnect the wire connect from your computer. (Unhook the network cable from the computer.)

5. Right click on the wireless strength bars at the top left of your screen. If you see a wireless network click on that, enter the passkey if necessary, and that is it.

BUT, if you don’t see a wireless network available and you know that there is one, we have a few more steps to take.

the hard way not really to hard read this.

I re-read my question, it wasn't clear ...

I want to use my bluetooth stick to connect to my phone. My phone has free internet (EDGE) But I can't connect my BT stick with my phone, both don't see each other

so the device is working and the drivers are installed.
here is where you can learn to configure and use it.

and if using debian you just assume root instead of sudo.
have a great day.
