why don't you tell us from the start what kind of device it is.

You need to send and receive reports with ID 16 and 17. Both have fixed
length and 16 was for the short messages and 17 for the long messages if
I remember that correctly. They are the same we used for switching the
dongle from HID into HCI mode.

The problem is to get these reports to the device. The HIDP kernel
module with the report protocol (see -mh patch) lacks hiddev support.
