bluetooth confusion

[Cyrus Adkisson]

I'm trying to get make a file-sharing connection between my laptop 
(equipped with a D-Link DBT120 dongle) and my new Motorola RAZR phone. 
I've done a lot of searching, reading and perusing about bluetooth on 
this list and on google, but I'm really just more confused now than I 
was when I started. Here's what I think I know (please correct me where 
I'm wrong, which may be a lot of places):

1. The kernel includes BlueZ, which is the underlying code to handle the 
Bluetooth stack. FC3 contains several packages to help provide bluetooth 
support including:

bluez-pin-0.23-3
bluez-hcidump-1.11-1
bluez-utils-2.10-2
bluez-libs-2.10-2
bluez-bluefw-1.0-6

2. One can start the hcid and sdpd daemons by using the command "service 
bluetooth start" on an FC distro. hcid manages the bluetooth 
connections, and sdpd allows connected devices to show what services 
they have.

3. After choosing "find me" on the motorola phone (which enables 
bluetooth discovery) I can do the following:

[root at laptop ~]# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
       00:12:8A:97:FC:27       Motorola Phone

...which finds my motorola phone, apparently.

4. Here is the part where I'm really fuzzy. There are two interface 
packages to use with your desktop environment, gnome-bluetooth and 
kdebluetooth. I use KDE, but I gave gnome-bluetooth a try. I was able to 
yum install gnome-bluetooth, but it seems to be grossly underdeveloped 
for actual use. The "Bluetooth Manager" which appears under system tools 
can discover my phone, but that's about it. Nothing else works. The file 
sharing program under system tools does nothing.

Because there was no RPM for FC available, I tried downloading the KDE 
bluetooth tarball available from sourceforge compiled on 3-20-05.  It 
seemed to compile at first, but then I realized that the kbluetoothd 
portion was not compiling. I have not been able to get it to compile. I 
thought I'd try the CVS versions, but the link to "cvs snapshots" on the 
KDEbluetooth homepage was broken and the CVS instructions were not 
valid. The server specified doesn't seem to be online.

So I'm pretty much stuck here. I don't know how to pair the phone and 
the laptop together, and even if I could, I don't have any way to move 
files between them without KDEBluetooth. Can someone lend me a hand? 
Maybe you know where to get the latest KDEBluetooth CVS stuff...
