• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Gustavo Michels 2004-01-09 07:46:48 UTC]

When I try to emerge bluez-bluefw-r1, I get the following error:

I am running 2.6.1-mm1 but this also happens under vanilla 2.6.0. I once had this working on a 2.6.0-test7-mm1 system, as I described on http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=99078.

Since then I never tried bluetooth again, until now, which gives me the above error.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge bluez-bluefw
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Emerge failed with compilation error.

Expected Results:  
Compiled correctly :D

I heard there were some recent changes in the kernel bluetooth code, but I 
thought this was only available on the love-sources. Anyway, I tried it on the 
latest mm-sources and 2.6.0 final, without success.

Created attachment 23488 [details, diff]
Latest bluetooth development

Applied the attached patch to 2.6.0 vanilla and bluefw compiled and is working
ok.

Patch won't apply cleanly on 2.6.1-mm1.

[Comment 2 Gustavo Michels 2004-01-12 04:31:44 UTC]

Ah nevermind again, I found out that bluefw is no longer needed (nor supported) under 2.6. Users that needed bluefw should use the bcm203x driver (available on the mh patches) which will load the firmware automatically thru hotplug.

[Comment 3 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2004-01-12 08:47:56 UTC]

Yep, looks like this only supports 2.4. Thanks for filing this anyway...
