What is exactly is RIL (Radio Interface Layer) in Android ?
RIL is like a driver that allows your ROM to communicate with the radio chip on your board. In short... We need it for GSM/HSDPA and our other forms of communications, sort of how your WiFi driver on your PC works.

Hello everyone!
I've found a device which allows you to use Bluetooth on an old PC with no USB- Ports. It works on an Serial Port.
Does everyone know if it is possible to use it on the xda?
I think it's just like an Modem or GPS for the Serial port.
To the XDA-Developers team: Is it possible to modify it to act as a Wireless LAN device? Bluetooth and Wireless LAN use the same Frequencies (2.4 GHz).
Sorry, for my bad English. It's my school English. (I'm from Germany)

It's in German.....sorry
A Bluetooth device can not be modified to communicate as an 802.11 wireless device. It is true that they both use the same frequency, but they are different technologies.
But..
It is possible to use a serial Bluetooth device provided that drivers are developed for it and the power requirements are not prohibitive.
This would be VERY desirable.

OK, a friend of mine recently bought a Toshiba Qosmio notebook with built in Bluetooth module. It runs Windows Vista Ultimate and Toshiba (no way! ) Bluetooth Stack. He's also got an hw6515, which he wants to use as a Bluetooth modem for the Qosmio. And here the fun begins.
When I try to pair the devices with express setup, Toshiba BT Stack sees only the PAN Profile on 6515. When using advanced setup it sees the DUN profile, then I select the COM port (default - COM40). After that, when I click Finish, it says that there is no modem installed. When I look up the modem list, I can only see "Toshiba Software Modem (COM3)", I then try to change the COM port to 40 (or any other I selected previously) and it says OK.
Now the connection. When I try to dial the number it says there's no modem installed. When I look at the modem list, there's only the "Toshiba Software Modem (COM3)". I've been using this with other Bluetooth enabled computers (with MS BT Stack and BlueSoleil) and it worked perfectly (installed itself as a Standard Bluetooth Modem, or something like this).
Anyone has some ideas, why doesn't it work on Toshiba BT Stack?
Problem fixed. Should anyone have the same problem, you have to get rid of this gay Toshiba Stack and install Bluetooth Monitor form Toshiba support page.
Hello,
Good year to everyone.
I'm trying to make a DUN connection between a device (linux) and my touch diamond, but is not working. Bluetooth software finds the Dial up service but it doesnt connect. Using windows PAN works but DUN doenst too. The problem is that the linux device doesnt support PAN.
I heard that dun services has been relpace on newer divces by pan only is this true? is there a way or some sort of hack to enable dun again
If you any idea how to solve this i would be apreciated.
Hi,
I am working currently on the fixing of the WLAN driver for Philips BGW200 chip for Windows CE 5.0. The WLAN chip is connected to the CPU Intel PXA270 via the SPI interface.
We experience device freezing (during roaming?) in wireless environment with 17 access points and Cisco WLAN controller. The threads and timers of the driver are sequentially crashing or stopping somehow, the WLAN chip stops to send interrupts, and NDIS stops to query and set configuration data to the driver. Even reset of the driver invoked by NDIS doesn’t help.
We do not have any documentation for the driver and the firmware is only a binary image. We have discovered many synchronization issues inside the driver and some memory leaks are also present.
If you can, please help us. Is there any available developer documentation for the BGW200 chip, or for any Windows CE driver for it? Is there a tested and well running driver available?
Any advice is welcome.

Hello all,
I can't setup working BT tethering under Mac OSX (10.5). Could you help me ? N1 uses the newest cyanogen mod stable rom, and I have "Internet tethering" sets to on. Both devices are paired, but what should I do next on OSX side ? Should I install any 3rd party software such as pdanet ?
Is that tethering different than regular bluetooth connection using embedded phone modem ? I'm asking because in Network configuration in OSX Preferences I have BT interface, where I have to provide phone no., login and password.
Thanks in advance, Tomek.
Well I'm pretty new here, but from what I know there is no bluetooth tethering option. Sure you can pair with others bluetooth devices, but there is no stock internet tethering via bluetooth. Once again, afaik.
The stock Froyo tethering is very simple....it turns your N1 into a wireless base station. If you want to do usb tethering then you can use pdanet. I think pdanet also supports bluetooth tethering, but I've never tried it.
Thanks for your reply.
I wonder why Internet tethering option has description "... via USB/BT" ?
We're talking about CyanogenMod 5.0.8-N1
I'd love to know this as well.
The Cyanogenmod 5.0.8 changelog lists that he added BT tethering, available both via Bluetooth PAN, and Bluetooth DUN, using code from Stefan Tomanek aka wertarbyte. It's something called 'omni-tether.'
But I've yet to get it to work. I tried asking in the CM forum, but got no response.
