Hi at all.

I'm trying to use my bluetooth adapter with a Linux box (Debian Sarge, with kernel 2.6.10), but I found some problems.

When I plug the adapter into the usb slot, the KDE Information Center can see the new hardware as BCM2033 Bluetooth (class 224, usb version 1.01, vendor id 0xa5c Broadcom, product id 0x2033 BCM2033 Bluetooth, revision 0.a0, speed 12 Mbit/s). Anyway, I also installed (through apt-get) KBluetoothD, but when I run it I get an error message saying: "No working Bluetooth adapter found. Only local services will be displayed". I also tried the hciconfig utility from root console, but the output is nothing.

My kernel is the 2.6.10 version, recompiled by me (I needed to do this because I experienced many problems with the ACPI support). I think all necessary modules are presents; the command "modprobe -l | grep bluetooth" give me:

/lib/modules/2.6.10/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/hci_uart.ko /lib/modules/2.6.10/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bfusb.ko /lib/modules/2.6.10/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bcm203x.ko /lib/modules/2.6.10/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/hci_vhci.ko /lib/modules/2.6.10/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/hci_usb.ko /lib/modules/2.6.10/kernel/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.ko /lib/modules/2.6.10/kernel/net/bluetooth/l2cap.ko /lib/modules/2.6.10/kernel/net/bluetooth/sco.ko /lib/modules/2.6.10/kernel/net/bluetooth/rfcomm/rfcomm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.10/kernel/net/bluetooth/bnep/bnep.ko

The command "lsmod" give me (mixed with other things):

I also paste here the dmesg output, starting from the time when I plug the adapter:
