Built-in Bluetooth and Card-Reader not working.

AGazzaz · 01-07-2008, 03:26 PM

Hello,
I have an Acer Extensa 5220 with built-in Bluetooth and Card-Reader they are not working.
I tried my old Bluetooth dongle and it worked without problems
When I insterted a SD card it was detected but when I inserted a MMC card it was not detected although it was detected when I used a separate card reader

How can I use the built-in Bluetooth and Card-Reader?

Posting your 'lsusb' and 'lspci' output would help us know where to start.

Could somebody help me?
I still can not use the built-in bluetooth and card-reader.

elliott678 · 01-17-2008, 03:27 PM

You need the following modules for the card reader, make sure they are all there:

Code:

mmc_block tifm_sd tifm_7xx1 tifm_core

In Acer's the bluetooth module is usually connected via USB internally, I'm not seeing it on the lsusb output, are you sure this one has it? Not all Acer's with a bluetooth button have bluetooth.

AGazzaz · 01-18-2008, 03:13 AM

The files are available in the following paths.

Code:

/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-laptop-1mdv/kernel/drivers/mmc/card/mmc_block.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-laptop-1mdv/kernel/drivers/mmc/host/tifm_sd.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-laptop-1mdv/kernel/drivers/misc/tifm_7xx1.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-laptop-1mdv/kernel/drivers/misc/tifm_core.ko

These files are provided by this package: kernel-laptop-2.6.22.9-1mdv
Is there any thing else I can do?

elliott678 · 01-18-2008, 03:17 AM

Are they loaded? Check the output of 'lsmod'. I haven't tested it, but I hear this reader has problems with MS and xD cards in Linux, MMC and SD are supported though. I only have SD cards, and it works well with them.

Everything seems fine, I don't really know what to tell you. Support for this reader is fairly new, it isn't as simple as the USB ones that show up as mass storage devices, hopefully it will improve soon.

AGazzaz · 01-18-2008, 03:44 AM

Thank you for your help elliott678
I think I will stick to my old bluetooth dongle and buy myself a new card-reader

cathectic · 01-18-2008, 08:19 AM

For the bluetooth, you could try acer_acpi and see if it can turn it on.

AGazzaz · 01-18-2008, 11:42 AM

Code:

Can I do anything about this?

cathectic · 01-18-2008, 12:57 PM

You are missing the kernel sources.

However, IIRC, I believe Mandriva already ship a prebuilt acer_acpi module?
