====== Bluetooth ======

===== Introduction =====

This guide will help you to configure bluetooth, e.g. to use your phone as a mod
em.
Do following steps as root.
First of all you must install Slitaz packages related to bluetooth:
# tazpkg get-install bluez
# tazpkg get-install linux-bluetooth
The first package contains the Official Linux Bluetooth protocol stack www.bluez
.org and the second contains the kernel modules related to bluetooth.
Now you can launch the bluetooth daemon:
# bluetoothd
And load the module required by your local bluetooth device, this is very likely
btusb:
# modprobe btusb
If btusb is the module you need the command "hcitool dev" to show you the local
device address:
root@slitaz:/home/tux# hcitool dev
Devices:
hci0 00:02:72:xx:xx:xx
If the command "hcitool dev" does not show you any hci* device you must detect w
hich module you need and repeat the previous step until you have a hci* device.
Now that you have hci* you can run the "hcitool scan" command to show you if the
re is any discoverable device nearby.
So if you are searching, e.g. your phone, remember to put it in discoverable mod
e:
root@slitaz:/home/tux# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:18:C5:xx:xx:xx Nokia 6151
root@slitaz:/home/tux#
Now you can pair your locale device with your remote device. You use bluez-simpl
e-agent to do that.
If you want to start the pairing from the remote device you need to put your loc
al device in discoverable mode:
# hciconfig hci0 piscan
Now launch bluez-simple-agent, start the pairing from the remote device and wait
for bluez-simple-agent to ask you for the pin code needed to pair.
This code will be the same one you typed on the phone. When you are done you nee
d to kill bluez-simple-agent with Ctrl-c:
root@slitaz:/home/tux# hciconfig hci0 piscan
root@slitaz:/home/tux# bluez-simple-agent
Agent registered
RequestPinCode (/org/bluez/2944/hci0/dev_00_18_C5_xx_xx_xx)
Enter PIN Code: 1234
^CTraceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/bluez-simple-agent", line 113, in <module>
mainloop.run()
KeyboardInterrupt
root@slitaz:/home/tux#
Put your local device back in undiscoverable mode:
# hciconfig hci0 pscan
If you want to start the pairing from your local device you can do it using blue
z-simple-agent with the hci* of your local device and the address of the device
you discovered with "hcitool scan". In this case you will choose the pin in blue
z-simple-agent and type the same pin on the remote device:
root@slitaz:/home/tux# bluez-simple-agent hci0 00:18:C5:xx:xx:xx
RequestPinCode (/org/bluez/3078/hci0/dev_00_18_C5_xx_xx_xx)
Enter PIN Code: 1234
Release
New device (/org/bluez/3078/hci0/dev_00_18_C5_xx_xx_xx)
root@slitaz:/home/tux#
Be fast because bluez-simple-agent has a timeout which I don't know how to set (
suggestions?)
===== Use a phone as a modem =====
Now you have your two devices paired, i will go on with the phone as a modem exa
mple, I don't have other experiences with bluetooth devices.
To use your phone as a modem you need the rfcomm module. At the moment I am writ
ing this guide the rfcomm module of Slitaz is compiled without tty support. You
can check if this is the case with the following commands:
root@slitaz:/home/tux# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep RFCOMM
CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM=m
# CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM_TTY is not set
root@slitaz:/home/tux#
If CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM_TTY is not =y you must recompile the module with tty support
. Install linux-source:
# tazpkg get-install linux-source
cd in /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`/ and give this command:
# make CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM=m CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM_TTY=y M=net/bluetooth/rfcomm
This will build only the rfcomm module with tty support. You will find it in /us
r/src/linux-`uname -r`/net/bluetooth/rfcomm/rfcomm.ko.
Now you can delete the old rfcomm module and replace it with your module:
# rm /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/bluetooth/rfcomm/rfcomm.ko.gz
# cp /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`/net/bluetooth/rfcomm/rfcomm.ko /lib/modules/`un
ame -r`/kernel/net/bluetooth/rfcomm/
# depmod -a
Now that we have a working rfcomm module we must detect the channel where the ph
one dialup service is listening:
# sdptool browse 00:18:C5:xx:xx:xx
Where 00:18:C5:xx:xx:xx is the address of your phone, it will give a list with t
he services available on your phone. The one you are looking for is Dial-up netw
orking or DUN:
Service Name: Dial-up networking
Service RecHandle: 0x10000
Service Class ID List:
"Dialup Networking" (0x1103)
"Generic Networking" (0x1201)
Protocol Descriptor List:
"L2CAP" (0x0100)
"RFCOMM" (0x0003)
Channel: 1
Language Base Attr List:
code_ISO639: 0x656e
encoding: 0x6a
base_offset: 0x100
Profile Descriptor List:
"Dialup Networking" (0x1103)
Version: 0x0100

===== rfcomm.conf =====
As you can see it is listening on channel 1, so you edit ///etc/bluetooth/rfcomm
.conf// this way:
<file>
#
# RFCOMM configuration file.
#
rfcomm0 {
# # Automatically bind the device at startup
bind yes;
#
# # Bluetooth address of the device
device 00:18:C5:xx:xx:xx;
#
# # RFCOMM channel for the connection
channel 1;
#
# # Description of the connection
# comment "Example Bluetooth device";
}
</file>
Now with:
# modprobe rfcomm
# rfcomm bind all
You can use /dev/rfcomm0 as a modem in a wvdial script.
