Slackware :: Bluetooth Adapter Recommendations
Oct 13, 2010
I am looking for advice and recommendations for USB Bluetooth Adapters. My primary use will be using a Wii controller/remote with XBMC (compiled with 'cwiid' support).Secondary use is general data transfer; other peripherals keyboard/mouse etc.But more than anything I would like to buy a product from a manufacturer who has open support for GNU/Linux and to stay away from others who don't (BlueSoleil software, WinBond - and others).

I am trying to get my bluetooth adapter to work in RHEL. The adapter is a Kensington Micro (K33902US). The system detects the device, but it fails to find any networks when I do a scan using hcitool. Also, I wrote a small C program to do the same, with the same results (no network found). The bluetooth manager appears in the panel, but when I right-click, the only option I have is to check/uncheck "Discoverable". I have tried restarting bluetooth using "service bluetooth restart" to no avail.I tried borrowing an adapter from a friend (some DLINK) that seemed to work fine for both hcitool and my program. The problem just seems to be in Red Hat's ability to use this particular device.

I have a Dell Vostro 200 running Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic). I want to add Bluetooth capability to my machine. Can anyone recommend an USB Bluetooth adapter that is known to work with Ubuntu 9.10? Perhaps specifically Vostro 200, but I know chances of that might be small.

I have been using ubuntu for a few years now but am a noob when comes to the technical side of things, so apologies for my lack of knowledge.
I am using ubuntu 10.10 on a ZOTAC IONITX-A-U Atom N330 1.6GHz Dual-Core Mini ITX Intel Motherboard and since I have upgraded from 10.04 I no longer have blue tooth capabilities. I have a logitech mx 5500 wireless keyboard and mouse, which uses a bluetooth dongle. This is the strange part as they have both been working until recently.
They both lost their charge and after replacing the batteries in my keyboard it no longer is able to connect. The mouse however works fine, until I dropped it So I bought a microsoft explorer mouse which came with its own bluetooth dongle. Which I plugged in and the mouse works fine.
But when I go to System> Preferences> Bluetooth
I get Bluetooth adapter not present and Your computer does not have any Bluetooth adapters plugged in.
I have spent the last week googling this and can't seem to find any relevant info.
I ran this in terminal code...
Am I wrong in assuming that the logitech and microsoft dongles are being seen?
I have also removed and reinstalled bluetooth and bluetooth manager in the software centre, and the same with synaptic package manager, to no avail.
With both dongles plugged in could this also cause a problem?
Is there another way of starting the bluetooth?

Actually I am using Ubuntu netbook remix in Benq netbook. In that bluetooth is inbuild. When I use this same ubuntu netbook remix as "live usb" this bluetooth works and searches the devices. But after installing ubuntu remix in harddisk I am getting error as "No bluetooth adapter plugged in" I dont know why. So I again checked with the same "live-usb" this time the bluetooth didn't works. Saying the same error which it shows when I boot from hard disk.

I have just updated to karmic and whenever i reboot i have to re-enable (turn on) my bluetooth adapter in order for it to work. This wouldn't be much of a problem except for the fact that i use a bluetooth keyboard / mouse.Does anyone have any solution for this?Is there a way i could enable bluetooth from command line?

Best way to go about upgrading current with Eric's 4.4 packages installed. It looks like some of the changes in current are newer versions than what I'm running with the 4.4. packages installed so I'm not real sure of the best path to follow . Would it be better to just blacklist the 4.4. packages and proceed with the upgrade or does somebody else have a better idea?

It worked with 10.10, but in 11.04 only partially. It would show up in Bluetooth Manager, and I was able to pair with my phone. But after that it always failed to connect. Tried lots of things before I spent $10 on another nameless Chinese one and that worked fine immediately.

I've an Acer Aspire One A110 Netbook running Linpus Lite. All seems relatively well however I've plugged in a Bluetooth USB dongle and nothing has happened - oh well, I didn;t expect it to. Of course I'm used to MS Windows OS plug 'n Play and I know this isn't generally how Linpus Lite OS operates but despite looking around I can't find an explanation on how to activate the Bluetooth adapter. There are instructions and demos on how to add a Bluetooth component to the board but I'm not an engineer, neither professional nor hobbyist, so Im not interested in doing that. I've downloaded the Bluetooth zip file from the Acer Spire One support site it has been installed on the Netbook but there still appears to be no Bluetooth connection.

I have USB-Bluetooth adapter and Centos 5.5, i plugged in adapter to USB, reboot. then i get this with /sbin/lsusb code...
also, when im searching for devices with phone, i can find my computer (my Bluetooth adapter), but when i press to connect from phone, it says Connection Failed...
thats kind of weird, because overall process seems to be set up ok, and i can find my PC without problems... any ideas why would connection fail then?

I've followed the guide at URL.... but my computer is unable to find any Bluetooth devices. Whether I'm using the command line or gnome-bluetooth, I don't get any results. If I plug in a cheap USB adapter, I'm able to connect and use the devices.My computer is a HP ProBook 4330s running Debian Jessie. And as far as I can tell the Bluetooth adapter is a Ralink rt3592 combination Wi-Fi and Bluetooth PCI card. The Wi-Fi works fine, but when i try to connect to a Bluetooth device, I get no search results.

I recently bought the Alfa AWUS036h which uses the Realtek rtl8187 chipset. I am able to load the module and connect to any network, but its almost as soon as I try to load a page the connection drops. It never stays connected for more than 30 seconds. My other computers using the same adapter in the same spot work fine, unfortunately there not running slackware. I've tried compiling the newest stable kernel and checked the rd.inet1.conf settings.

I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 that I dearly love; its operating system is Fedora 14 which I ALSO dearly love.I have been running Fedora on this Laptop since Fedora 10. And know it has Bluetooth; in fact, I know I've transfferred files from my laptop to my phone (and vice versa) before. However. It does not seem to work right now. When I go into the gnome-Bluetooth app, it just sits there ominously saying "No Bluetooth Adapters Present" I'd very much like to get bluetooth up and running, but I'm not sure what's wrong.

Bluetoothd is running.
bash-4.1# pgrep bluetoothd

But when I start blueman-applet the icon on the toolbar is like white with a red 'x' in the centre of it, which doesn't seem right. I'm using fluxbox as my WM so don't know if that's the reason, but blueman isn't responding when I try to setup the device with gui (blueman-applet). My groups for my user are.

I'm struggling for pairing my laptop with my phone to dial up internet. On slack 13 I configured hcid.conf but on the new 13.1 with the new demon bluetoothd I don't know how to pair on command line.Documentation is not a lot, or I'm not able to find it.

i tried following the readme file included in the driver of the usb network adapter but seems its not exact.
any ideas on how i can configure it manually? KDE does not detect any wifi device. .(of course since no driver is installed yet).
i used my desktop (win***)with DSL connection and installed the driver of the usb net adapter.. made it as the access point. . so my laptop detects the desktop as wifi spot.

So I recently installed Slackware 13.1 and now want to get my D-Link DWA-140 to work with it. However I'm quite an amateur at Linux and can't seem to figure out how to. After following many different how-tos and tutorials this is where I am: I got 2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1 (supposedly USB driver)package and rt2870.bin (supposedly firmware) in my root catalog. What I have already done with them:
make & make install in 2010_0709~
blacklisting modules 2x00usb, 2x00lib, 2800usb
modprobe rt2870sta
copying rt2870.bin to /lib/firmware
Regardless of everything, my adapter still is not active.. and how can I make the OS load the module at startup?

I have a problem with BT again, I installed blueman from SlackBuild at [URL], but when I start it (from Setting > Bluetooth Manager), it was running with a minimized window at the taskbar for a while and not appear any window or icon on the system tray.
I track its process, there's still it running background
Code:
tridc@latix:~$ ps aux | grep blueman
tridc 5394 0.0 0.4 26052 15708 ? S 15:54 0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/blueman-manager
tridc 16171 0.0 0.0 2204 628 pts/0 R+ 16:41 0:00 grep blueman

I can't configure Bluetooth in Slackware 13.1. It basically works. I can scan my mobile phone:
Code:
$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
BA:BE:DE:AD:AB:ED Nokia 6300
But when I try other commands, mobile phone asks me about passcode. Because I don't know it pairing fails:
Code:
$ gammu 6300 --identify
Error opening device. Unknown, busy or no permissions.
On the other hand when I try to pair computer using mobile phone it doesn't find any device.
Code:
Pair new device
Searching for devices
No devices found
In Slackware 13.0 to configure Bluetooth it was enough to edit /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf file. In Slackware 13.1 there is no such file. I tried to use blueman but it offers first and foremost a lot of error messages. In despair I even started KDE and tried Bluetooth Manager. It attempts to run for a dozen or so of second and finally fails. I did full installation of Slackware 13.1 and I use generic SMP kernel.

I recently moved out of state and don't have access to the net, however the neighbor of where I am staying is nice enough to let me leech off of her network till I get going. I know next to nothing about slackware and wireless networks since I have never had to mess with it. I have done my reading and have gotten this far.
1) wirelss card is installed and recognized, its a PCI b/g card that uses the ath5 module. The module is loaded and seems to be working.
2) I have heard wicd is easy so I installed it from /extra and it found my essid and accepted the wep password and it says connected at 45% and shows an IP.
however when I launch firefox or try to ping out nothing happens.

Strange, just fired up my laptop and Wicd is telling me that I am on a Wired Network. Somehow, I have no clue as to how but my wireless connection is now being interpreted as a wired one.

I am having getting bluetooth working. I am using a home built computer, AMD Athalon 64, 1.5 gig ram, Slackware 13_64, up to date. I have bluez-firmware-1.2-x86_64-1, bluez-hcidump-1.42-x86_64-2, bluez-libs-3.36-x86_64-2, bluez-utils-3.36-x86_64-7 installed. I have a USB Micro Adapter 2.1 from IOGear and a Motorola S9-HD stereo headset.
This is what happens when I try to connect:
root|/home/john # hcitool scan
Scanning ...

Can't create connection: Input/output error
I am finding the headset but can't connect to it. I have the password from the headset in the default file of /etc/bluetooth/passkeys.
