Dear bluez users,

In order to make my laptop (OS: Fedora Core 2) communicate with some bluetooth device through an ANYCOM Bluetooth USB Adapter, I have installed the Bluez packages (bluez-libs bluez-libs bluez-utils bluez-hcidump bluez-utils-cups).

But, when trying to detect nearby active bluetooth devices, using "hcitool scan" non of the devices are detected, wheras the same configuration works very well with windows.

so, that's what I get on my terminal:

>[root@localhost root]# hciconfig
>hci0:   Type: USB
>        BD Address: 00:16:38:CA:56:A8 ACL MTU: 1017:8  SCO MTU: 64:1
>        UP RUNNING
>        RX bytes:93 acl:0 sco:0 events:12 errors:0
>        TX bytes:296 acl:0 sco:0 commands:12 errors:0

>[root@localhost root]# hcitool scan
>Scanning ...
>Inquiry failed: Connection timed out

One more thing is that, when loading the bluez module it says that the module is not found

>[root@localhost root]# modprobe bluez
>FATAL: Module bluez not found.


It would be very much helpful if someone knows how to solve the problem.

Thanks so much in advance,
Menouar
