Bluetooth in OpenBSD

["Andrew Smith" <asmith_(_at_)_tranquility_(_dot_)_fsbusiness_(_dot_)_co_(_dot_)_uk>]

The Broadcom Blutonium chipset is a special case. It requires a firmware
download for the device to function as a Bluetooth device.

ubt currently does not support the download but will recognise the adaptor
once the firmware is downloaded. I do have a preliminary patch set that I
created (it's a port of the FreeBSD code) when I was considering
implementing the rfcomm framework but I stalled on that project as a whole
for various reasons.

I could post the patch that implements the ubtbcmfw driver and the
sourcecode for the tools, however, I haven't done the man page and my
thoughts were that at some point it would be incorporated into the ubt
driver and use an easyfw type mechanism rather than having a distinct device
and tools for the downloader.

Subject: Bluetooth in OpenBSD

I did a dmesg trying to use a bluetooth adaptor to connect to the mobile  
phone and use it as a modem, which I can't fully post here as the OBSD3.8  
is installed in a laptop without internet access but I copied by hand the  
lines relating to the bluetooth adaptor and this is what is says on the  
lines where Bluetooth is named:

"
root on wd0a
rootdev=0x0 rrootdev=0x300 rawdev=0x302
ugen0 at uhub1 port 1
ugen0: Broadcom Belkin Bluetooth Device, rev 1.10/0.01 , addr2
syncing disks...

"

then it gets named on another line:

"

ugen0: Broadcom Belkin Bluetooth Device, rev 1.10/0.01, addr 2
dkcsum:wd0 matches BIOS drive 0x80
root on wd0a

"


I hope this information is enough to understand how it works, I have seen  
"not configured" anywhere it looks to me like the device is recognised by  
OBSD3.8, if I am right I would appreciate some help configuring this so  
that I can use the mobile phone to dial up and connect to the net, if I  
manage I will send the full dmseg to the list.

In the ppp.conf file I have the cua0 as a dev I do not know if this is the  
right one as that was meant to be for a modem.
