Narked again
Flushed with the success of getting Gentoo running, I moved on with the next phase - trying to get Bluetooth going. And now I’m pissed off again.
It all seems so simple when you read about it - set a few options in the kernel config (going from the Gentoo bluetooth howto this is), recompile, reboot, check your device appears… PROBLEM - the dongle isn’t even showing up as a USB device.
So I fiddle for a few hours, even resort to posting on the Gentoo forum, still no idea why the box doesn’t recognise any USB device.
I may be about to lose faith in Gentoo, and reach for my Red Hat FC5 install CDs I downloaded a week or three back. I know I need bluez and openobex to do what I want to do, do I need Gentoo grief too?
