Ah, thanks! Could you put that URL in the Kernel help page for the
blutonium driver? It's a bit of an enigma at present.

While it doesn't seem to oops on Gentoo anymore, neither does it seem to
actually work - hciconfig can't see any devices. I've enclosed
information which will hopefully help find out why.

Thanks.

The dongle's a Belkin F8T001, the original model. Bluefw works very
temprementally; sometimes it just doesn't, for no apparent reason, with
the dongle timing out. Blue-fw was uninstalled before trying out the
Blutonium kernel module, and BCM-LEGAL.txt, BCM2033-FW.bin and
BCM2033-MD.hex placed in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
