Hi,

I've been trying to make my embedded bluetooth card work, but it seems i
have a big problem...
Before explaining it, here is my hardware specification:
Dell D830 laptop, and my bluetooth card (running lsusb):
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 413c:8140 Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 360 Bluetooth

I have installed bluez-utils, bluez-libs, bluetooth, everything that is seem
to be needed.

Here is what hciconfig give me:
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:1A:6B:8A:xx:xx ACL MTU: 310:10 SCO MTU: 64:8
        UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN
        RX bytes:4134 acl:0 sco:0 events:136 errors:0
        TX bytes:2047 acl:0 sco:0 commands:133 errors:0

So my BT card seems to work ... but when I run a scan or an inq (with
hcitool), nothing is found. Also, the bluetooth led of my laptop is off ...

After doing many test, i was wondering if it was not a hardware problem, so
i have boot to windows to see if my card words. Everything worked fine, the
led was on, the scan showed my phone. Then i reboot on linux, and here is
the thing weird, my bluetooth card was still working (the led was on).

So i start bluetooth daemon (hcid, sdpd), i run a scan, and my phone is
found !!!

The problem seems to be the bluetooth card doesn't "start"/"stop" on linux
(the led story confirms that). So, is there a way to solve this thing ? Have
I done something wrong ?

Thanks
