https://www.centos.org – Ok, so i'm back on CentOS, same problem. I think the kernel is too old and it doesn't have the "drivers" for the Bluetooth module, under Debian Squeeze (stable with kernel 2.6.x... [by unifiedlinux] (Distributions)

"The Debian project has been working in removing non-free firmware from the Linux kernel shipped with Debian for the past two release cycles. At the time of the releases of Debian 4.0 "Etch" and 5.0 "Lenny", however, it was not yet possible to ship Linux kernels stripped of all non-free firmware bits.

I have fixed this problem, but it requires building my own kernel via abs, running makepkg -o, then patching ath3k.c and btusb.c, adding support for my VID/PID in the former and blacklisting it in the latter, then compiling with makepkg -e and installing the compiled kernel.You can read more about it here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 9#p1221279If anyone is interested, here is the pat

Hi,

1.You are right, your module should be in the "xf86-video-intel" package.

This thread seems to have outdated info on getting bluetooth to work? I'm using the latest Waldorf on my hp mini. I first tried using the Debian Bluetooth User guide http://wiki.debian.org/BluetoothUser but that didn't get me anywhere. Couldn't get the bluetooth icon to show up in the tray and hcitool dev command returns no devices.

Ok, i've finally figured it out.  If I understand it correctly, the problem lies in the slow initialization of the drive's firmware to be ready to be scanned by the usb_storage kernel module. If you look at the output of "cat /sys/module/usb_storage/parameters/delay_use" it shows the value "1" (second).

I've recently applied a one-line patch to drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c in order to enable compatibility with my Bluetooth device. However, whenever I get a kernel upgrade, the patch will be lost until someone backports it (which isn't likely). Is there a way for me to run a script and patch each new kernel upgrade automatically?

Details on how to apply the patch can be found here on Ask Ubuntu.

I did a reinstall yesterday of my HP probook laptop using Debian Squeeze. I've been struggling with installing the rtl8192cu module, required to run the TP-Link TL WN723N USB dongle. I am currently using kernel 3.8.6, but on the Realtek website the current driver is said to run on kernel 3.0.2.
