Raspberry PI Notes (Wifi and Bluetooth)

Wifi 

I used the following usb dongles without any trouble:

Edimax, Cisco (Linksys) WUSB600N, Belkin F7D1101 v1

Bluetooth 

I used this guide to get me started installing the bluez stack etc:http://www.ctheroux.com/2012/08/a-step-by-step-guide-to-setup-a-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-on-the-raspberry-pi/

keyboard: I used an apple keyboard and magic mouse, using a old dongle I found from ISSC (this information is from the dongle):


> ISSCEDRBTA:

> Product ID: 0x1001
> Vendor ID: 0x1131 (Integrated System Solution Corp.)
> Version: 3.73
> Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
> Manufacturer: ISSC
> Location ID: 0x14200000 / 7
> Current Available (mA): 500
> Current Required (mA): Unknown (Device has not been configured)


Make the keyboard discoverable (I took the batteries out and put back, then press button on side, green light should flicker on and off).

record the MAC address

# hcitool scan

pair it
# echo 0000|bluez-simple-agent hci0 BB:0F:FE:82:D1:C5

Then enter 0000 on BT keyboard
trust the keyboard...

# bluez-test-device trusted BB:0F:FE:82:D1:C5 yes

connect the keyboard...

# bluez-test-input connect BB:0F:FE:82:D1:C5


Make the mouse discoverable ( I switched it off and on again)

# hcitool scan

record the MAC address

# echo 0000|bluez-simple-agent hci0 BB:0F:FE:82:D1:C6

trust the mouse...

# bluez-test-device trusted BB:0F:FE:82:D1:C6 yes

connect the mouse...

# bluez-test-input connect BB:0F:FE:82:D1:C6

All devices remain intact on reboot.
