I hate companies that are not able to clearly name their product. Once
they build another Bluetooth adapter you can't differentiate between
them :(

It seems that this dongle is not available in Germany. Does anyone have
a spare one for me?

So loading with "modprobe hci_usb reset=1" and without the patch doesn't
make it work? Don't using "reset=1" and applying the patch does also not
work? Only when you do both things the dongle is working. This is odd,
because one of my previous Broadcom based dongles like this only needed
the BCM92035 quirk to switch from HID into HCI mode. Please test all
possibilities so I can add the correct quirk to the kernel.

If you add HCI_RESET to the line for your device it will have the same
effect as if you provide "reset=1" on module loading.

You are welcome.
