[Gumstix-users] bnep not installing

[David W. <dw...@da...>]

Hi,

I am getting very close to running, but this last hitch has me  
stumped. I need to be able to point my laptop/handheld browser at the  
Gumstix boa server via a BlueTooth PAN hosted by the Gumstix. But  
boot processing of /etc/network/interfaces ends complaining that  
interface bnep0 does not exist. I checked and re-checked every step  
in the wiki how-to on BlueTooth, the PAN section, and still do not  
see what I am missing. I also manually run modbrobe bnep and that  
appears to work, in that I get no console output, but ifconfig still  
does not show any bnep interfaces. I installed hcitool on the  
gumstix, and get to a successful l2ping across the link too.

The other part of this I am stopped by is how to enter a pairing code  
given me by the laptop to enter into the Gumstix to establish a  
pairing. Followed closely by how to remember the pairing on the gumstix.

Any ideas/help will be gratefully appreciated.

PS: this is the fourth time I have tried posting this question. I  
posted another question between this one and the third attempt, andf  
that one made it to distribution. Any ideas of what is up? (assuming  
this one makes it!)


Thanks,
