Gumstix 2

Gumstix says HI! Connection via bluetooth in OS X is up while I wait for Debian to download some packages. All I had to do to connect:
1. Go to bluetooth prefs in OS X
2. Click Set up BLuetooth Device
3. Select "Any Device"
4. Click "Passkey Options..."
5. Select the "Use a specific passkey" radio button
6. Use "1234" (minus quotes) as the passkey
7. Open terminal
8. type: ls /dev/tty.*
9. One of those will correspond to the gumstix (/dev/tty.Gumstix-1 for me)
10. type screen /dev/tty.Gumstix-1 9600
(9600 is the baud rate. I am not sure if the gumstix BT module will go faster than that)
11. Login as root
12. Default password is "gumstix"
13. Welcome to gumstix linux!

Hmm, I'm surprised that works. The rfcomm getty on the gumstix is expecting 115200. That 9600 works is really quite unexpected. Maybe the bluetooth layer is adjusting automatically somehow?
