Is there any way at all I > can enable Bluetooth on this system? I have never actually tried to use bluetooth on CentOS Linux 6. I use bluetooth all the time on CentOS Linux 7. The base kernel in EL6 is fairly old (2.6.32). Red Hat backports (http://red.ht/2h14UtV) changes to the kernel for security and bugfixes, however they don't back part every driver or firmware .. so sometimes, some hardware still has the original (older) code. You could TRY the elrepo kernel(s) for CentOS Linux 6 and see if it allows the bluetooth to work. http://elrepo.org/linux/kernel/el6/x86_64/RPMS/ They have a Long Term (lt) kernel (3.10.x) and a MainLine (ml) kernel that you can try. IF you use the XFS file system (instead of ext4) then you will also want to upgrade your xfsprogs (http://bit.ly/2hOlsec) to this version if you use a newer elrepo kernel due to this bug (http://red.ht/2hHsJZS , http://bit.ly/2mNN9G2). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
