Sony UX280P UMPC
Integrated USB Bluetooth
Ubuntu Feisty


I have some configuration problems with a program.... it boils down to my lack of better understanding the relation of Bluetooth / hci0 / /dev/rfcomm0.

The script calls /dev/rfcomm0, but there is no rfcomm0 device. My system uses hci0 for the integrated USB Bluetooth module. Is the solution to get hci0 read as rfcomm0 to symlink it?

How can I find out where hci0 actually is? It says that it is USB, but my output of lsusb and hciconfig -a confuses me as I do not see it clearly in /dev/:

hciconfig -a
