[Bluez-users] seems that device is not found

[soraberri]

Learning...
OK, I have just installed a ready fresh Fedora Core 3 distribution kernel
2.6.9-1.667, no additional packages from bluez.org (I'm guessing they are
included in my linux distribution, is this correct?). So, I plug a
Conceptronic CBT100U adapter device (listed in bluetooth adapter list
www.holtmann.org), execute hcitool dev, and all I get is:

Devices:

...anything else. By the way, I get the same response in three different
linux boxes with the same kernel version.
I'm afraid this is not the best welcome I could hope, or it is? so I would
like your opinion for that. Also, I wonder how can I know which of the bluez
downloads should I install and which don't, and how can I know if they are
already installed on my system (also Linux novice, excuses for that..)

Thanks in advance,

check with "hciconfig -a" if your device is detected and if it is up and
running.

Thanks Marcel!
Well, I'm enjoying quite a lot now...
I wasn't able to execute hciconfig, it is not in the path variable by
default so I have to fix it.
Once I discovered the hciconfig tool I got very happy and set the device up
(by the way I needed root privileges)
So far, so good:
[root@castejon sbin]# ./hciconfig -a hci0 up
[root@castejon sbin]# ./hciconfig -a
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:10:60:A5:96:AA ACL MTU: 192:8  SCO MTU: 64:8
