USB Bluetooth on RHPW Trouble

oldskool · 07-13-2004, 12:51 PM

Running Red Hat Pro WS (based on RHEL3), every Bluetooth option is selected in the kernel, but hci_usb.o has not been built. After apt-get'ting all the bluez stuff, hci_usb.o should load when I plug in my Linksys Class 1 - it doesn't even exist.

How do I build this driver that should already be there?

how do you get that far?

A stock RH kernel comes with everything and the kitchen sink, so it should be, and I hate to say this, plug 'n play. I ran into the same problem with RHPW and my IBM webcam. video4linux and the USB driver is in the kernel, but it just won't load.

I've since downgraded to RH9 and my bluetooth and webcam both work fine. RH9 loads the modules and everything just works. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong or if there's something wrong with RHPW, please let me (and everyone at the LinuxQuestions forums

) know.
