I have googled and read stuff, but currently I'm stucked. When I plug the USB Dongle in an USB port I get the following kernel messages (among others): Jan 15 13:48:22 superlap kernel: usb 1-2.2: new full speed USB device using address 8 Jan 15 13:48:23 superlap kernel: input: USB HID v1.11 Keyboard [045e:00bf] on usb-0000:00:10.0-2.2 Jan 15 13:48:24 superlap kernel: usb 1-2.3: new full speed USB device using address 9 Jan 15 13:48:25 superlap kernel: input: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [045e:00be] on usb-0000:00:10.0-2.3 Also, hotplug loads a bunch of modules, including : usbmouse joydev usbkbd usbhid hci_usb rfcomm l2cap bluetooth Finally, I get the message: Jan 15 13:48:31 superlap hcid[2744]: Can't init device hci0. Connection timed out(110) The device hci0 is created but not opeerative: superlap:/home/fb# hciconfig hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0 DOWN RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0 TX bytes:3 acl:0 sco:0 commands:1 errors:0 and if I try to bring it up: superlap:/home/fb# hciconfig hci0 up Can't init device hci0. Connection timed out(110) I also tried hcidump, but it hangs after this output: superlap:/home/fb# hcidump -x HCIDump - HCI packet analyzer ver 1.12 device: hci0 snap_len: 1028 filter: 0xffffffff I tried all this with and without batteries inserted (no change). I also tried pressing the litte button on the back while doing "hciconfig hci0 up" and pressing keys while doing "hcidump -x". The keyboard and mouse works with Windows XP SP2, so the problem is not the hardware. My questions: 1. Does this device works with Linux+blueZ ? (I know that someone had success with other models of MS BT keyboards). 2. Do I have to patch the kernel? (actually I have a Kernel 2.6.9 pre-compiled (Debian Unstable distro) for AMD k7). 3. What else can I try? Thanks for any hint.
