Bluetooth usb dongel + debian

[heman]

Hello guys

I have a Problem getting my Bluetooth-Usb-Dongel work with Debian and the modified vortex86dx-kernel on my RB-100. I have allready installed "bluetooth" and "bluez-utils" but when i type hciconfig i get the error: "Can't open HCI socket.:Address family not supported by protocol".
when i try to load the module "bluetooth" i get the error "Fatal: Module bluetooth not found".

"lsusb | grep Blue" says:
ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

I hope you can help me fix this. =)

I got a Bluetooth Dongel working on ubuntu 10.04. I think its the modified kernel im not sure about it as im not a linux guru. Have you tried it without the roboard kernal?

[heman]

I tried the kernel 2.6.24-2-486 but it only gets to the "(initramfs)" thing

which kernel do you use in your ubuntu?

thanks for your answer =)

heman

im using 2.6.32-21-generic, I installed using vmware following tutorial available for ubuntu 9.10 in this forum

note: I couldn't get the lan drivers to compile but im using usb wireless which is working fine also haven't been able to go higher resolution than 800x600

[heman]

I tried a distupgrade from debian to ubuntu 8.04 but now its not booting anymore :-/ ("waiting for root file system...")
I think I will try the vmware thing with ubuntu 9.10 like you did
hope this works for me too
