Hi Folks, I got the problematic i-Tec dongle working. The important thing is to send a HCI_Reset as the first command at initialization. We don't do this, but I can't remember why not. Maybe there were some problematic chips in the early times of BlueZ. The attached patch is against 2.6. And here is the new dongle: hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:03:C9:xx:xx:xx ACL MTU: 377:10 SCO MTU: 16:0 UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN RX bytes:107 acl:0 sco:0 events:14 errors:0 TX bytes:303 acl:0 sco:0 commands:14 errors:0 Features: 0xff 0xff 0x0d 0x38 0x08 0x08 0x00 0x00 <3-slot packets> <5-slot packets> Packet type: DM1 DM3 DM5 DH1 DH3 DH5 HV1 HV2 HV3 Link policy: RSWITCH HOLD SNIFF PARK Link mode: SLAVE ACCEPT Name: 'Broadcom BCM2035' Class: 0x000100 Service Classes: Unspecified Device Class: Computer, Uncategorized HCI Ver: 1.1 (0x1) HCI Rev: 0x69 LMP Ver: 1.1 (0x1) LMP Subver: 0xe00 Manufacturer: Broadcom Corporation (15) The nice thing is that it already supports AFH ;) Regards Marcel
