The Linux development kernel has been added to the "Bluetooth" technology support, and the new version of the Linux operating system that will be released soon will move forward in support "Bluetooth". Wireless connections can be implemented within "Personal Areas Network" with "Bluetooth" technology, various PCs, portable devices and peripherals, which may replace the various cables used by most computer systems. In-Stat / MDR Research Company expects 100 million "personal area networks" this year, and in 2005, the number of networks will reach 900 million. Although this wireless technology has achieved great progress in mobile phones and PDA markets, in PC, the support of "Bluetooth" is slow, and partly because "Bluetooth" technology is considered to be WIL LAN (WLAN) Technology launches competition. Now, Apple issued a trial version of Bluetooth software, and also launched a USB "Bluetooth" adapter. Microsoft has also expressed the launch of "Bluetooth" peripherals and will implement local support for "Bluetooth" technology in the Windows XP operating system later this year. In version 2.5.14 of the Linux development kernel released on May 8, the non-experimental Linux "Bluetooth" protocol group was first publicly unveiled. However, it is now only existed in the 2.5 branch of the development kernel, which includes many unspected new features. The end user only has the Linux operating system that supports "Bluetooth" technology after the 2.6 version of the kernel appears. After the 2.5 version of the branch obtains a certain degree of stability, it will turn to version 2.6. However, for users with sufficient technical knowledge, they can also join the "Bluetooth" software in the Linux operating system before the 2.6 version of the Linux kernel is released. This protocol group called "Bluez" was originally a project of Qualcomm. Later, the company disclosed its source code. Bluez can support all Linux hardware from the inline device to the SPARC server processor, and it also has extensive compatibility, which can be compatible with a variety of PC "Bluetooth" adapters, cards, security devices and built-in "Bluetooth" hardware. Notebook and handheld computer and other equipment.
