I have no idea what your bluetooth device is. That's usually a good place to start.
Some of the modules in /lib/modules/uname -r/kernel/drivers/bluetooth should be loading. Check the logs around there. Let us know what you find |
Hello, those are the bluetooth modules loaded with the latest kernel:

Also, - Does it need to be enabled in your BIOS ? - Does it have a physical switch on your PC somewhere ? BT devices are often attached by USB. Does it show up with lsusb ? Code:
tred@vaio:~$ lsusb |
Bluetooth device is "RFCOMM", its buildin device dosent have switch button, in windows it enable with FN+F8, no option in the BIOS for the bluetooth.

My guess is that the device isn't turned on.
You could take a look at /proc/acpi/* to see if there is a likely-looking file you could echo 1 > to get it to turn on. If not, it may be easier just to get yourself a cheap ($10-20) USB BT dongle. I plugged one into my kubuntu 8.04 laptop, and, rather to my surprise, it "just worked". |
Many of these bluetooth devices are also wifi things, and you may need the wifi before getting bluetooth.
At any rate, nobody seems to know what it is. Check. grep the logs grep -i bluetooth /var/log/* There is also lspci lsusb lspcmcia to try to find which bus it's hiding on. Check what modules are loaded with lsmod Also download a manual from the Toshiba site or check your box in http://www.linux-laptop.net which has pages for each laptop type. |

i didn't find my laptop "Toshiba Satellite A300-20p" in www.linux-laptop.net, i found in google that driver "omnibook" will enable the bluetooth, but i have problem setup the driver. |
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100
That, I take it, is your bluetooth device. Have you seen this? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-linux-678588/ |
I already have "iwlwifi-5000" in "/lib/firmware", also my kernel version is "2.6.29.5-191"

As a general matter of politeness, you need not post large tracts of irrelevant material. Saying that you had the firmware would have been plenty. Have you taken a look here
http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/ You will probably find bluetooth instructions somewhere in the package. And if the thing has the correct driver it would be more likely to turn on. |
