I am trying to connect extra USB Bluetooth adapters to a powered hub connected to an n800 running Diablo. I want to experiment with concurrent connections and also greater ranges using class 1 bluetooth devices.

I have set the n800 into Host mode from the command line and used lsusb to list the devices connected to the hub. It lists the BT adapters and I know the USB hub is working as I am using a keyboard plugged into it to make typing length dbus commands in the terminal a bit quicker and easier

BlueZ doesn't see the USB adapters though as I checked using dbus and Manager.ListAdapters only shows the internal adapter hci0. So finally getting to the point...

- Is the version of the BlueZ stack in Diablo configured only to work with the internal adapter?

- Can I just change BlueZ's config in some way to use / recognise extra USB adapters or will I need to do something drastic like recompile a new version on BlueZ if I want it to work (I hope not).

- Has anyone else tried this?

- Can anyone think of any reasons why this wont work?

I appologise if this is not the correct place to post about this or if this has been covered before. I'd really appreciate any advice or pointers though as I am not a Maemo expert and starting to get a bit stuck as to how to proceed now. It also seems weird hacking my old n800 when I have a shinny new n900 to play with but I need USB hode mode.

Peas.
