I'm getting similar issues again with my current Bluetooth dongle... Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux Mint all recognize it now, but the connection is very unstable, sending and receiving files may work or may not work, and if they do, the files usually time out mid-transmission.

Both show the same behaviour. I also tried this with the stock bluez/libbluetooth etc and with the newest version from the Blueman PPA repository, also all with the same result. When I tried the dongles (I have two of them) on a 32 bit system, everything worked perfectly. (Also Karmic) So I expect there is a bug somewhere in the 64 bit version. I looked throughout the whole google searchable part of the internet to find more information. All people with a such-like problems had different causes apparently then mine, because none of the plentyful of 'tricks' didn't work.
