Hi,

I've acquired a Belkin "Mini Bluetooth v4.0 Adapter" F8T065bf
8830bf12557 Rev. A01.

I'm running Linux 3.7.10-1.16 (openSUSE 12.3) and this device is not
detecting beyond what I can see in lsusb.

What steps can I take to aid in patching the kernel to support this
device? I am a proficient C/asm programmer but I've not done kernel
driver dev before.

Best Regards,

Ken

That usually means that it is not advertising itself as a class
device.

You can try to add it to btusb.c. There's a table of BT adapters
that advertise themselves as vendor specific.
