Greetings;
Where can I find a tut to tell me how to make this device:

The modules are loaded obviously, but no /dev/hciN devices are created.
How can I turn this usb dongle into a 9600 baud rs-232 look/work alike?
I have acquired an rs-232 comm device that had an eb101 bt module instead of a db25 serial port for a legacy computer and intend to replace the cable with the bt circuit. I can now communicate with this old computer using minicom over a serial cable, so I know the idea works, but the cable exposes both machines to the EMP of a nearby lightening strike, something the BT connection will isolate then from.
I just fired up the eb101 device on the legacy machine, but this dongle, despite both being called class 1 devices, and about 25 feet between them, has made no new entries in dmesg since I powered up the other one. I would like to think the device discovery would apply but apparently not.
Thanks.
