2, Bluetooth subsystem enabled
3, Billionton BlueTooth Dongle Class I USBBTC1A
4, "/etc/rc.d/init.d/bluetooth start" already run

Outputs (lspci, lsmod, /proc/bus/usb/devices/,hciconfig, dmesg)

I really appreciate your kindly help and your time! if you need any
further information
please let me know, thanx again!

Is it a kernel problem? Bluez bug? Configuration Problem? Vmware
Restrictions? or what else?
