Hi,

the Broadcom dongles with the USB product id 0x2009 like the IOgear GBU311 need a special HCI vendor command to switch from HID into full HCI. Without this command the dongle is working, but only responses to commands in the OGF_INFO_PARAM class. This command is 3B FC 01 00 and the last byte toggles between HCI and HID mode.

< HCI Command: Vendor (0x3f|0x003b) plen 1
0000: 00 .

Quoted 1 line

HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4

0000: 01 3b fc 00 .;..

Right now I have no solution how to integrate this so that it works nicely, because I don't wanna pollute the Bluetooth core with Broadcom specific hacks. However you can execute "hcitool cmd 3f 3b 00" by hand and after that the mouse and keyboard devices provided by this dongle should disconnect and you can fully use the Bluetooth part.

Regards

Marcel

so everyone with the IOgear GBU311 or the Microsoft Wireless Transceiver for Bluetooth 2.0 should test the attached kernel patch and report back. The patch will apply cleanly against 2.6.10-mh3 and 2.6.11-rc3.

so nobody owns the Microsoft Wireless Transceiver for Bluetooth 2.0 and is willing to test this patch for me. I like to get this patch into the final 2.6.11 kernel and so I am a little bit in rush.

Marcel
