Hi all,
I am trying to get bluetooth to work on my Lenovo Thinkpad T60. Following the wiki article, I installed bluez and made sure that hal, dbus and bluetooth daemons are running. Of course, I have also made sure that the hardware switch for wifi/bluetooth on the front of the thinkpad is turned on.
Now, the situation is:
# lsmod | grep thinkpad
thinkpad_acpi 54236 0
snd 43283 16 snd_seq_oss,snd_hda_codec_analog,snd_seq,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss,thinkpad_acpi
rfkill 12854 4 bluetooth,cfg80211,thinkpad_acpi
led_class 1843 1 thinkpad_acpi
nvram 4749 1 thinkpad_acpi
# lsmod | grep blue
bluetooth 44753 5 sco,bnep,l2cap
rfkill 12854 4 bluetooth,cfg80211,thinkpad_acpi
# dmesg | grep -i blue
Bluetooth: Core ver 2.15
Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
Bluetooth: L2CAP ver 2.14
Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized
Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3
Bluetooth: SCO (Voice Link) ver 0.6
Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized
If I do "hciconfig --all", I get no output at all. A device /dev/hci* does not exist. So when I run hcitool, it tells me that there is no bluetooth device available:
# hcitool scan
Device is not available: No such device
In this thread is explained that one has to execute "echo enable >/proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth" to enable the bluetooth hardware:
# echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
-bash: /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth: No such file or directory
The directory /proc/acpi/ibm/ does exist, but root seems not to have the permission to create files there. If I enter the directory /proc/acpi/ibm/ and do "touch testfile" as root, I get "touch: cannot touch `testfile': No such file or directory".
To make a long story short, I have no idea what to do now to get bluetooth working. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance and kind regards,
jamesbond007.
