libsmbios problems

[Matt Wette]

Hi Michael,

I have a Dell C521 w/ AMD X2 3800+, ATI X1300, 2Gram.
I wanted to see if these boxes have bluetooth.
(specs say no, but wanted to check).  Apparently no.


[root at bluefin lib]# dellWirelessCtl -i
Libsmbios version      : 0.13.4
dellWirelessCtl version: 0.3.0
An Error occurred. The Error message is:
Could not open file /sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_data. Check that 
dcdbas driver is properly loaded.
[root at bluefin lib]# lsmod | grep dcd
[root at bluefin lib]# modprobe dcdbas
[root at bluefin lib]# lsmod | grep dcd
dcdbas                 12129  0
[root at bluefin lib]# dellWirelessCtl -i
Libsmbios version      : 0.13.4
dellWirelessCtl version: 0.3.0
