Arnova 10 G2 - Bluetooth Support ?

[NirabEtap]

Does anybody know if it possible to get Bluetooth working on this Tablet?

I have recently installed Finless Bob's V1.3 Custom Rom on my Arnova 10 G2 and all is working really well.
I would now like to get Bluetooth working, so I tried plugging in a cheap generic USB Blutooth Dongle(idVendor=0a12 idProduct=0001) and can see messages(see DMESG messages below), but I am stuggling to interpret the messages or turn Bluetooth on.

Can anybody help me?
Thanks.

Fenice as managed to get bluetooth working on one of the Arnova tablets so maybe he can share what he did and we can apply it to other ROMs. I simply do not know the answer at this time.

I was just about to post a whole separate thread on this then spotted this open one...

On my son's I-pod there was no official bluetooth (BT) capability but the hardware is there, (just only enabled for one type of Apple headset). A couple of year's ago, there was a workaround to enable this BT stack and I actually got to use TomTom Navigation on the Ipod (using a BT GP receiver) on the road and it worked flawlessly.

I read somewhere that there might be a similar "switched-off" BT capability buried in the kernel/bowels of the Arnova 10 G2...but I can't remember where (I've looked at soooo many pages on this great little device since getting one a couple of days ago).

have I got the wrong end of the stick? Is it possible? And if BT is possible, is it possible without using a usb dongle?

Cheers,
Mark

Bluetooth is semi there but the actual hardware is not there!

Fenice has added BT "stick" support to his 7G2 ROM but it is limited to certain BT stick manufacturers. I can put his drivers in the 10 G2 as he gave permission but I do not know exactly what BT sticks are supported.
