Bluetooth not working after kernel update


Okay, I installed the slackware 10.2 with pretty default settings (sata.i 2.4 kernel) and then in KDE downloaded the newest kernel (2.6.15) and compiled it. I enabled Bluetooth from the kernel but my keyboard and mouse aren't working at all once I boot to the new kernel.

All I did was compile the new kernel with some bluetooth modules (I did make modules_install). Is there anything else I need to do to enable my bluetooth. I got my keyboard working in Gentoo but for example, in slack there isn't /etc/bluetooh folder at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

You need to get bluez-utils, and bluez-libs at the very least.
They can be found here:

Sure, but shouldn't them be already there as my mouse/keyboard worked after / during installation with the default 2.4 kernel . I just updated my kernel and now it isn't working...

I'd say it's that the bluetooth modules need to be started at boot time, right?

Ok, I got it to work... I had missed one thing in my kernel update.... though now my internet isn't working.

Temporary failure in name resolution and when I shutdown the system I get told that "dhcpcd not running" which should run as it gets my internet settings from ISP, right?

I have other things but those are kinda minor, configuring ALSA and such. Could you enlighten me about the internet issue, so I can continue my journey with the slacker.

Myself I have a LAN with static ip's behind a router so I don't use dhcp. I believe your problem is with DNS though.

fire up a terminal, and as root:
Code:
#netconfig
fill in the appropriate info, and then you should have the proper dns ip info in your /etc/resolv.conf

hope this help's

The think is that my /etc/resolv.conf looks fine:
Code:
195.232.33.45
195.232.33.41
isp-connection.com
I don't think there should be anything more in there.

and my /etc/dhcpc folders info looks good also. There was ... dhcpcd-eth0.info file or similar which contained the info of my ISP but it doesn't seem to use it properly. When I had similar problems with gentoo it got connected by typing "dhcpcd -B" but that isn't the case now.

I'll make a new thread about this to get appropriate attention... after I browse a bit to see if it solves my problem.

Hi Zmyrgel,

Just out of curiousity and for future reference - which part/module/setting did you miss during your kernel update, and how did you find it?

(Makes it easier for other people with similar problem to trouble-shoot when they search and find this thread as reference)

Under USB-Support I changed OHCI-HCD (intel) to the basic version as I'm not using any intel chipsets. Also I was missing few modules in Bluetooth category. I installed them all and it started to work.

Okay, I got my network to work.... and the same time I broke my X. Solve one, generate another. My network error was again related to kernel. I needed to enable from kernel: Devices->Network->Ethernet(10-100)->Reverse engineered nForce Ethernet support.

My X broke as I updated my nvidia drivers but should be an easy fix.

On to solve the problems. Thank you for your help.
