Stable feed contains older version which has been tested and found more or less stable. It is not being used by developers anymore but it is good starting point for anyone's first bluetooh experiences.
Unstable feed contains usually latest release or even more recent code in the process of testing and debugging. It is meant for developers and testers. The code usually contains the latest features and drivers, but quite often also bugs and causes problems. Definitelly not suitable for begginers or unexperienced users!

blueapplet - bluetooth applet for OPIE/Qtopia
bluetooth-affix-frontend-gtk - the pocket AFE version of AFE (bluetooth manager) for GPE
bluetooth-affix-kernel - kernel modules (drivers) for affix
bluetooth-affix - utilities, configurations, libraries and binaries of affix
bluetooth-connector - the Affix Bleutooth Connector utility for fast network connection setup

Installing packages

Basic installation has few dependencies. The OpenOBEX libraries are necessary and also the libgthread. Both are available in our feeds.
The package bluetooth-affix-kernel is the first one to be installed. It installs the kernel modules, PCMCIA config files and config scripts. The card manager should now launch affix when your PCMCIA card is being inserted, provided your card is supported in affix. To test it, eject the card first, insert it back and check the kernel modules:

>cardctl eject 0
>cardctl insert 0
>lsmod

In the module listing you shall see module corresponding to your card (see the module name here). For example Socket CF card should trigger these modules:

affix
affix_uart
affix_uart_cs

If it isn't so, even after system restart, consult our troubleshooting guide.
