[Bluez-users] Broadcom Corporation (Firmware 105.105.074) USB dongle

[Hans Bausewein <hans@comerwell.xs4all.nl>]

My new USB dongle (MyCom label, but it's a Broadcom) does not work with
Linux Debian (unstable) kernel 2.4.27 or 2.6.8 and bluez-utils 2.10-1
(Debian package). It loads, but scanning does not work.

hcid says:
  hcid[6544]: Can't set scan mode on hci0. Device or resource busy(16)
  hcid[6544]: Can't set auth on hci0. Device or resource busy(16)   
  hcid[6544]: Can't set encrypt on hci0. Device or resource busy(16)

I guess these happen, because there are 4 devices instead of just one (as
with my MSI dongle, that works fins).

Tried to change to HCI:

p2:~# hid2hci --tohci
No devices in HCI mode found

Installed packages: 
ii  bluez-bluefw   1.0-1          Firmware and loader for BCM2033-based ...
ii  bluez-hcidump  1.12-1         Analyses Bluetooth HCI packets
ii  bluez-pin      0.24-1         Bluetooth PIN helper with D-BUS support
ii  bluez-utils    2.10-1         Bluetooth tools and daemons

Any ideas?

Or should I better swap the device for a (more expensive) MSI ?

I'm compiling kernel 2.6.9, now. Maybe that helps?
