My colleague has reported success running a bluetooth dongle under KDE using kbluetoothd. Apparently the only thing it's couldn't see was his Motorola SLVR - but he's only just got the phone so I suspect user error [not that he'll be able to do much with the phone even if Linux could see it]. He's running Mandriva on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro. On Sun, 2006-04-23 at 23:58 -0600, Freeman Pascal wrote: > Bluetooth has been promising PAN (personal area network) devices for > last few years.
