Help with bluetooth
 
Hello, can anyone show me the direction on how to make bluetooth work with linux.


I need to connect to my access point using a bluetooth dongle connected in my pc. In windows I do it using Widdcom software, I have no idea how to do it in linux so please help me.


thanks

Uhhh, more information...

What distrobution/desktop environment are you using? Bluetooth in linux is relatively easy to set up but more information would be fantastic.

Sorry.


I'm using Libranet 2.8.1 with kernel 2.4.21... I'm also using KDE 3.1.

Also what I want to do is to establish a network connection with my bluetooth access point through my dongle. I don't have to share my internet connection, just connect to the access point.

thanks

You'll need to go to www.bluez.org and install bluez-libs and bluez-utils. Then install kbluetoothd and it'll all become very easy :)
