GPRS Internet over Bluetooth

In order to make use of your Bluetooth mouse you need to do the following:

  • install Bluetooth support

# aptitude install bluetooth

  • change the value of the HIDD_ENABLE option to 1 in /etc/default/bluetooth.

  • after that, the following command should have a similar output (note the HIDD_ENABLED option):

rakesh@debian:~$ grep HIDD /etc/default/bluetooth
############ HIDD
# HIDD_ENABLED to 1.
HIDD_ENABLED=1
HIDD_OPTIONS="--master --server"
# HIDD_OPTIONS="-i AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF --server"
  • restart the bluetooth daemon

rakesh@debian:~$ /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
Restarting bluetooth: hidd hcid sdpd hidd rfcomm.
  • logout and back in again
  • search for the mouse to make the pairing

rakesh@debian:~$ hidd --search
  • if gnome-bluetooth or kdebluetooth is installed (depending on whether you use GNOME or KDE), the PIN will be requested for the initial pairing.
  • The wireless Mighty Mouse has a built in passcode of "0000" (four zeros).
