First things firt, some info about the system: Asus A93S Notebook Built-in Bluetooth, vendor Lite-On Technology Corp. ID 04ca:3002 Arch Linux Kernel 3.2.8 bluez 4.98 - The hardware seems to be recognised correctly: # dmesg |grep tooth [ 7.355917] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.16 [ 7.355935] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized [ 7.355938] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized [ 7.355940] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized [ 7.355947] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized [ 7.372899] Bluetooth: Generic Bluetooth USB driver ver 0.6 [ 27.352796] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3 [ 73.128762] Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized [ 73.128775] Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized [ 73.128777] Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.11 - According to rfkill the device is not blocked - The Problem: the device hci0 is down and I cannot get it up: # hciconfig hci0 up Can't init device hci0: Connection timed out (110) hciconfig reset gives the same error... Searching the net I found out that I'm not the only one with this problem (see for example https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=126603), but a solution was nowhere to be found. Any ideas what's wrong? thanks Simon
