[Bluez-users] Cant get dongle up

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2043 bytes --]

Dear Blue-z users
 I am new to Linux and blueZ, so may be my question may be  silly.
 
 My USB BT dongle has ISSC chipset (the ebay seller claimed that it will be a Bilionton dongle but it turned out to be a cheap EEPROM less dongle with 11:11.. BD address ) . It works fine in windows with blusoleil. But  I could not get it working in Linux - Kernerl 2.6.11 , Fedora core 3 redhat 12.0. 
 
 This is the output of hciconfig
 
 [root@localhost ~]# hciconfig -a
 hci0:   Type: USB
         BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0  SCO MTU: 0:0
         DOWN
         RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0

         BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0  SCO MTU: 0:0
         DOWN
         RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0

         Packet type: DM1 DH1 HV1
         Link policy:
         Link mode: SLAVE ACCEPT
 
 When I try hciconfig hci0 up , this is the response
 
 [root@localhost ~]# hciconfig hci0 up
 Can't init device hci0. Connection timed out(110)
 [root@localhost ~]#        
 
 lsusb displays this
   [root@localhost ~]# lsusb
 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
 Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c517 Logitech, Inc.
 Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1131:1001 Integrated System Solution Corp.
 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
 
 The dongle's green LED is ON continuosly.
 
 I searched google and went through the bluez posts and found similar posts.
 but could not find  a solution. Any help on this would be great since I already wasted more than a week after this.
 
 Thanks
 Anoop

does it change the address when using it with BlueSoleil? If it doesn't
then you might wanna return this dongle and buy a good one.

You kernel is quite ancient. You can try to load the hci_usb driver with
the isoc=0 switch, but it might be a better idea to upgrade to Fedora
Core 6 on Tuesday.

Regards

Marcel

Thanks Marcel. Dongle's BD address is not changing. How about buying a D-link DBT120 dongle?. I will try upgrading the kernel. Mean while can you please tell me how to load hci_usb with isoc=0 switch ?.

A DBT120 should work quite well. It's been a while since I've done  
anything serious with BlueZ, but I do know I've used a DBT-120  
successfully between a Linux system and a Powerbook running OS X as  
far back as Linux kernel 2.4.21.

HTH,
