p3n5t3r Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I have a USB BT Adapter from LevelOne which worked without any problems on 10.4.1 but does not anymore on 10.4.3. I can see it in the system profiler but I get no Bluetooth icon in the top task bar and when I try to launch BT exchange app it says that I do not have bluetooth. Is there any kext I have to look for in order to get BT wokring, where can I find it and what is it called.

Maybe this works for you, too. I do not have a LevelOne Stick, but I think they are widcom-based chips inside, too. You can find the 10.4.4. kext download here somewhere in the forum.

macgirl Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I did the same, I replace with 10.4.4 kexts an now even the Microsoft Bluetooth 2 dongle works, before only the IOGear Bluetooth 1 dongle worked.

xtraa Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 i just copied 2 kext form 104.4 and my BT keys still doesnt communicate wit my nokiaanyone has a working package including FRAMEWORKS for BT? Did you do a chown and chmod and kextcache on the files? Any pointers to the 10.4.4 kexts for bluetooth? I can't find them anywhere... Thanks in advance.

cyclonefr Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Did you do a chown and chmod and kextcache on the files?Here you go: pass: x86 <snipped> I deleted the kextcache files manually and repaired permissions via Disk Utility. From what I know, it does the same as you mentionned above, and my BT key is recognized anyway and sees my Nokia phone. The thing is, I can't send any data to it, and vice versa since 10.4.3 drivers.

Yes you are right, can't be the kexts. Hmmm... Ok, you tried to pair them, but it does not detect it, even if you don't choose "Mobile phone" explicit, but "any device"? You can also try this, here at macosxhints, It will set your configuration back to standard, in case there is some bad entry, that prevents your PC from connecting it: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?sto...00408&lsrc=osxh Good luck Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7976-bluetooth-not-working-on-1043/#findComment-50985 Share on other sites More sharing options...

xPoWx Th3Myth Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Could someone possibly help me with changing the kext files. I have an IOGear Dongle, and it seems to show up, but it does say device unknown. If someone could give me some step by step instructions on how to get my bluetooth to work, I will be forever in your debt.

netrat Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Here's another BT dongle that will work for 10.4.3, no modifications required. Dlink DBT-120 managed to to transfer files between my Sony Ericsson T637 and OSx86. I'm pretty sure the GPRS modem will work too, but I haven't tried it, because I don't remmeber the number and user/pass for my mobile service provider.
