@Dominique Meeùs Thankyou!! ~7months later my bluetooth keyboard&mouse finnally works with latest kernel + your work around.
@ Ian M. Stewart You might be missing a step or two. For reference my complete steps are: 1. sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop 2. <unplug your bluetooth dongle and plug it back in now> 3. sudo hciconfig hci0 up 4. hciconfig -a 5. sudo hcitool scan 6. sudo hidd --search 00:07:61:9D:87:66 (Yes i'm using hidd from bluez-compat to connect, I don't know how else to connect) For interest here's the full log: $ lsusb | grep Blue Bus 003 Device 004: ID 22b8:0850 Motorola PCS Bluetooth Device lei...@leifer-desktop:~$ uname -a Linux leifer-desktop 2.6.28-11-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 3 17:39:51 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux lei...@leifer-desktop:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start * Starting bluetooth [ OK ] lei...@leifer-desktop:~$ hciconfig -a hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:0C:55:36:1E:56 ACL MTU: 377:10 SCO MTU: 16:0 UP RUNNING RX bytes:667 acl:0 sco:0 events:19 errors:0 TX bytes:578 acl:0 sco:0 commands:21 errors:0 Features: 0xff 0xfe 0x0d 0x38 0x08 0x08 0x00 0x00 Packet type: DM1 DM3 DM5 DH1 DH3 DH5 HV1 HV2 HV3 Link policy: Link mode: SLAVE ACCEPT Can't read local name on hci0: Connection timed out (110) lei...@leifer-desktop:~$ sudo hcitool scan Scanning ...
