SoulSe Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 I recently watched a friend showing off with his Sony-Ericcson phone and Bluetooth-enabled windows laptop. He could open up winamp with it and open playlists, perform shit like play, stop, etc. and also control his mouse cursor - way impressive. So now I'm getting a phone with Bluetooth (Nokia 6310) and I was wondering if all these things could be done with MDK? The bluetooth adaptor I am getting plugs into the USB port. If I search MDKs supported hardware database for "bluetooth" it returns nothing. So has anyone had any luck with getting a bluetooth adaptor going with MDK? And if so, what cool shit will I be able to do with my cellphone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Hi SoulSe There is some Bluetooth options in the Linux kernel. I guess MDK compiled them as modules so you can probably use them. Core driver: Core BlueTooth modules: bluez.o L2cap (connectionless data-transport support): l2cap.o SCO (Voice over bluetooth): sco.o Device drivers: Bluetooth with usb interfaces: hci_usb.o Bluetooth with serial ports or PCMCIA: hci-vart.o HCI emulation software: hci-vhci.o So in order to use bluetooth in your case I would modprobe 'bluez', 'l2cap' and 'hci_usb'. You probably need a sofware in addition to that.. have no idea here since I never used any Bluetooth devices. Make a search on Sourceforge or Freshmeat.. http://bluez.sourceforge.net/ Good luck MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted March 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Well, so far, I have found this: http://freshmeat.net/projects/bluexmms/?to...ic_id=861%2C122 But it seems to be only for ericsson phones and I have no choice, must be Nokia. My main worry is finding a Linux compatible bluetooth USB adaptor... I also found the affix Linux bluetooth howto: http://bthow.sourceforge.net/html/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 I don't know about mdk, but I have seen on some forums that people are happily using usb-bt sticks and the like on linux. Try google, and google groups->linux.. And don't forget to let us know! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Revolver Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Many thanks for the search in this good How to. Appreciated (i have a conceptronic bluetooth device that i want to put it working on Gnu/Linux) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 My friend just told me not to buy Nokia.. Nokia is the most unstandard of all the cellphones while sony ericsson is the most standard one. Heck.. if I can send and receive files (midi, and gifs) to my sony ericsson cellphone in linux, in windows it should be able to do much more. Nokia requires additional programs in order to do stuffs like sending and receiving stuffs while sony ericsson just require you to have a supported protocol (irda, bluetooth, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
