Re: USB support and Bluetooth

uuuuuh,  its so long ago i set up, i cant remember Arch not supporting usb out of the box.
what have you tried so far? to what result ?  is hal installed and running ?
check  /etc/rc.conf     look for  daemons  line ( check for  .....  hal   ... )

if not then as root maybe:
pacman -S hal | /etc/rc.d/hal start
also
lsmod |grep usb
hwd -ec |grep -i usb

hth

Re: USB support and Bluetooth

hal is already there.
I don't know which s/w I have to use for bluetooth.
Longtime back I used a bluetooth adapter in linux and I forgot which distro.

The lsmod gives :

[root@myhost sridhar]# lsmod | grep usb
usbcore               135080  3 uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd

The hwd command did not work.

[root@myhost sridhar]# hwd -ec |grep -i usb
bash: hwd: command not found

Re: USB support and Bluetooth

Install hwd with:

pacman -S hwd

Then try again with hwd -ec | grep -i usb
