Greetings;
Where can I find a tut to tell me how to make this device:
[root at coyote bluetooth]# lsusb -v

The modules are loaded obviously, but no /dev/hciN devices are created.
How can I turn this usb dongle into a 9600 baud rs-232 look/work alike?
I have acquired an rs-232 comm device that had an eb101 bt module instead of a
db25 serial port for a legacy computer and intend to replace the cable with
the bt circuit. I can now communicate with this old computer using minicom
over a serial cable, so I know the idea works, but the cable exposes both
machines to the EMP of a nearby lightening strike, something the BT connection
will isolate then from.
I just fired up the eb101 device on the legacy machine, but this dongle,
despite both being called class 1 devices, and about 25 feet between them, has
made no new entries in dmesg since I powered up the other one. I would like
to think the device discovery would apply but apparently not.
Thanks.
