belkin bluetooth dongle doesn't work

Sammael · 09-25-2006, 01:30 PM

hi, i'm trying to install Belkin usb bluetooth adapter model F8T012 under gentoo, it is listed in lsusb, emerged bluez (all packages suggested in gentoo wiki bluetooth howto), did modprobe bluetooth, did /etc/init.d/bluetotth start, but when i'm trying to start the device i get this:

Code:

hciconfig hci0 up
Can't init device hci0: Input/output error (5)

can anybody pls help?

Did you edit your hcid.conf file as suggested? Did you also emerge the bluez-firmware? (It may be required to get Broadcomm based bluetooth dongles to work)

I've got an F8T013 working in Gentoo (2.6.17), so there's a good chance that your dongle is supported too.

well, i did tejoice too soon...

due to a power failure in my house i had to restart my system again (sigh...) after restart i get this:

Code:

high-flyer bluetooth # hciconfig
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0

        RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0
        TX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 commands:0 errors:0

Code:

high-flyer bluetooth # hciconfig hci0 up
Can't init device hci0: Input/output error (5)

hci_usb_intr_rx_submit: hci0 intr rx submit failed urb ccb4a4d4 err -28

...all this already after re-emerging every bluez package & rebooting
does anybody have a suggestion?

well this is strange, but it seems it conflicts wth some other device connected to the same usb hub...

if bluetooth dongle is first device which i connect do hub, everything works as it should (more or less

)...

*EDIT*
after a bit of connecting & disconnecting, i have a feeling that conflicting device is exteranl dvd-rw drive, i read something about it somewhere

that bluetooth module needs to be loaded before usbfs or something like that...

hope it helps also somebody else
