Dell TrueMobile 350 internal Bluetooth Module
This is a Bluetooth module by Ricoh and it works out of the box when you have the Linux Bluetooth subsystem compiled in your kernel. I also did this:
apt-get install bluez-utils
to install the BlueZ bluetooth utils. To check if your adapter works:
hcitool dev
should give something like:
Devices: hci0 00:10:C6:5A:CC:E8
It took me sometime to find out how to attach my Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard (Human Interface Devices, HID). The trick is to edit /etc/default/bluez-utils
and tutn on HIDD_ENABLED. After you restart the bluez-utils you can scan for HID devices:
# /etc/init.d/bluez-utils restart # hidd --search # hidd --show 00:50:F2:E7:19:D6 HID Boot Device [045e:007b] connected [boot-protocol] 00:50:F2:E6:05:7B HID Boot Device [045e:007c] connected [boot-protocol]
Update:
Sweet, when I boot my laptop and press a key or move my mouse, the devices automagically connect! On M$ Windows I have to press the connect button under my keyboard and enter a pin code for pairing.
