the respective daemons are started. Bluetooth adapters are probed upon installation. If
one or more are found, Bluetooth is enabled. Otherwise the Bluetooth system is deacti-
vated. Any Bluetooth device added later must be enabled manually.
Profiles
In Bluetooth, services are defined by means of profiles, such as the file transfer profile,
the basic printing profile, and the personal area network profile. To enable a device to
use the services of another device, both must understand the same profile—a piece of
information that is often missing in the device package and manual. Unfortunately,
some manufacturers do not comply strictly with the definitions of the individual profiles.
Despite this, communication between the devices usually works smoothly.
In the following text, local devices are those physically connected to the computer. All
other devices that can only be accessed over wireless connections are referred to as re-
mote devices.
29.2.2 Configuration
This section introduces Bluetooth configuration. Learn which configuration files are
involved, which tools are needed, and how to configure Bluetooth with YaST or man-
ually.
Configuring Bluetooth with YaST
Use the YaST Bluetooth module, shown in Figure 29.2, "YaST Bluetooth Configuration"
(page 576), to configure Bluetooth support on your system. As soon as hotplug detects
a Bluetooth adapter on your system (for example, during booting or when you plug in
an adapter), Bluetooth is automatically started with the settings configured in this
module.
