How To Enable Bluetooth On Suse10.2 ?

#1 (**permalink**) 03-Sep-2007, 14:37

hi guys,

I have a Dell Inspiron E1405 with openSuse 10.2 installed on it. I learned that by default the kernel disables the bluetooth. I enabled it, but then i found out that the suse wasnt able to install the driver for my Dell 350 bluetooth card... Dell itself hasnt published the open version of the driver. Can i use any generic driver with a few little tweaks instead?

please help,

i use a bluetooth dongle, as my laptop is so old,but, install bluetooth modules via yast & iit may sort it out by itself. go to yast ->software management & type bluetooth in the search field. then click on bluetooth stuff to install. hang on a sec & i'll check what you may need
