Here's a readme for the bluefw package. CC'ing the group in case somebody is
searching through it.
Steve
Before you start with this package you will want to have enabled bluetooth
support in the
kernel and have installed at least the bluez-utils and bluez-libs packages.
BUILDING:
To build run the 'standard' build commands:
>./configure
>make
>su
>make-install
Quick Installation Test: (Most devices that use this driver are
usb dongles.. so I'll refer to the bluetooth device as a dongle
from now on). Plug the dongle in the USB port and:

If you get this display (with a valid BD Address line), You're all set, bluez
has found
your device and is ready for you to configure what you want to use the device
for.
If you get this:
>[root@rhat hotplug]# /sbin/hciconfig

Note: No valid BD Address. Then chances are that the hcid daemon is not
running.
To check:
> ps -aux | grep hcid
To start on redhat:
> /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
OTHER PROBLEMS:
These usually stem from problems with the hotplug scripts package. If you are
still having
problems get the latest from http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/. You can
check
your version via:
>[root@rhat steved]# rpm -q hotplug
>hotplug-2003_05_01-1
My RedHat 9.0 had an older hotplug rpm (2002_04_01-17) and I had problems with
rpm -U since
there is now two packages. You probably want to backup your /etc/hotplug
directory before
continuing. Here's what I did on RedHat, other distributions will vary.

After you have upgraded your hotplug packages verify that:
/etc/hotplug/usb/bluefw
and
/etc/hotplug/usb/bluefw.usermap
are still intact (else.. make install of the bluefw package again).
Unplug and replug the USB dongle now to test new hotplug.

More problems?
Verify that the /proc/bus/usb directory exists. If not there, you need
re-compile kernel with
USB Support-> Preliminary USB Filesystem (CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS)
Final hotplug help:
The hotplug script /etc/hotplug/usb.agent is called when a new USB device is
plugged in.
It makes extensive use of functions in /etc/hotplug/hotplug.functions. Both of
these scripts
have an option to turn on debugging by editing the files. They work by looking
through the
loadable kernel modules looking for device id's that match the new USB device.
If no
kernel modules are foud, it searches through *.usermap files looking for
matching matching device
ID's.
