Re: manage bluetooth devices using NetworkManger

[NIKHIL PATIL <nikhilvp29 gmail com>]

Hi Team,

    We are using Redpine module (rsi9113) which support bluetooth + wifi . 

    OS - yocto based linux. 

    NetworkManager version :- 1.10.6

   1) for WIFI we are able to manage using nmcli commands .

       -> nmcli device 

       DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION

wlp0s21f0u4 wifi connected test

2) for bluetooth can we except like these ( bluetooth interface (eg. bnp0)) using nmcli commands .

My networkmanager_1.10.6.bbappend file :-

PACKAGECONFIG_append = " modemmanager"

      PACKAGECONFIG_append = " ppp ifupdown wifi bluez5"

I added bluez5 in .bbappend file , i thought it will manage through these , but not happening ,

i think by default bluez5 is dealing with connman , how we can switch bluez5 with networkmanager .

3) using nmcli commands will show bluetooth device is connected or not ?

Hi,


recent NetworkManager version interact (only) with bluez5.

As always in NetworkManager, create a suitable connection profile and
activate it. Actually, NetworkManager will automatically generate a
profile for all paired devices, so you should see the respective
profiles.

And, read the logfile if something doesn't work (enable level=TRACE
logging. See
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/contrib/fedora/rpm/NetworkManager.conf#n28
 ).

Also, your question on this list is lacking detail. Explain what you
are doing, what *exactly* you want to achieve, and what you think is
happening.


best,
Thomas
