Centos continues to fall behind in with the state of bluetooth development. Nothing new from 5.1 to 5.2. Has anyone got a more recent version working and have compile and rpm build instructions? Here are the rpms that I have: bluez-gnome-0.5-5.fc6.i386.rpm bluez-hcidump-1.32-1.i386.rpm bluez-libs-3.7-1.i386.rpm bluez-utils-3.7-2.el5.centos.i386.rpm bluez-utils-cups-3.7-2.el5.centos.i386.rpm gnome-bluetooth-0.7.0-10.2.el5.i386.rpm gnome-bluetooth-libs-0.7.0-10.2.el5.i386.rpm

It would be like buying a Volvo because they are reliable, then constantly adding aftermarket parts to the engine. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...

The bluez-user list was discussing 3.14 last year. Of course to make this even more fun, if you do a man pand, there is text covering a /etc/bluetooth/pan/dev-up script. No /etc/bluetooth/pan directory on any of my Centos builds. So I have pand running, but then how do I bring the interface up? Well I hope to do some things with pand tonight after the 802 sessions for the day. Oh, and as far as stable and backleveled.... I work on IEEE 802 standards. It takes us YEARS these days to get a standard out. And all we do is 'put ink on paper'. Well time to focus in on the week's announcements. Oh, such fun!
