Affix installation troubleshooting

Modules do not load
  • Make sure you do not have BlueZ installed. Also check that you have no support for Bluetooth turned on in the kernel.
  • Make sure the affix kernel modules are properly installed. Try running "depmod -a" from command line.

USB device
  • If you system logs, try "tail -f /var/log/messages". When the device is being plugged in you should see something like this:
    
    kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 11
    kernel: btusb_probe: affix_usb bound to device
    kernel: usb.c: USB device 11 (vend/prod 0x506/0xa0) is not claimed by any active driver.
    /etc/hotplug/net.agent: invoke ifup bt0
    /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup affix_usb for USB product 506/a0/115
    
  • Have a look into /lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION/modules.usbmap. The product IDs for bluetooth device should be there under "affix_usb" name. If it is not the case, debug this first! Hotplug cannot match the USB identification codes with affix and doesn't load the proper modules! Check that there is affix USB module in /lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/affix_usb.o
  • Try uploading the modules manually. Command "modprobe affix_usb" should load the USB module and affix module. Try runnig the "btctl" command then. If it seems to work now, then the module works and the problem is somewhere in your hotplug - debug hotplug.
PCMCIA/CF device
  • Test that your card is being recognized by card manager. Command "cardctl ident" should show reasonable information about your card. If it is not so, try changing kernel config and verify that your card is not faulty.
  • Make sure that there are affix config files in the /etc/pcmcia/ directory (recently named "affix.conf")
  • Try uploading the modules manually. Find proper module name from here, e.g. Socket card uses affix_uart_cs. Then try e.g. "modprobe affix_uart_cs" and watch for problems. If modules load, try running "btctl" or "btctl up". If btctl displays some device information, then the modules are ok and problem is just in the card manager's setup.
No Bluetooth Adapters found
  • Device specific modules didn't load. Please consult this section
  • Your device is not attached - verify that your USB/PCMCIA/CF device is connected.
Unable to open device: Address family not supported by protocol
  • Device specific modules didn't load. Please consult this section
  • Your device is not attached - verify that your USB/PCMCIA/CF device is connected.
