hi, i am trying to get a file from a blootooth device during system boot. my root-filesystem is encrypted and i would like to be able to get the encryption key from my mobile phone. i have written a script, that is getting the key-file with obexftp. it is working as expected as long as i am running it from a fully started linux. no i am trying to get it running in the initramfs and i am stuck. the modules are loaded, hciconfig is showing me the proper device. so far, so good, but: as far as i understand bluez, i am in need of hcid running to communicate to my mobile phone. but trying to start hcid in the initramfs is a pain. it seems to be in need of dbus. i believe it goes very far beyond the scope of an initramfs to have dbus runnnig there. just to give a simple example, dbus has user and group policies and is usually started as another user than root. this is all out of the context of an initramfs. i got the dbus-daemon running in the initramfs after some tries, but starting the hcid still fails with connection errors (hcid is not getting response from dbus for whatever reason) now i am stuck. is there a way to communicate via obexftp to my mobile-phone without hcid? or is there a way to start the hcid without dbus? best regards mog ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
