dongles won't initialize

Hello everybody

maybe someone has an idea:

On my PC, I have:
Kernel 2.6.8-24.14-default
bluez-utils and bluez-libs 2.15

this is exactly the same setup as on my laptop where everything works perfectly fine. the same dongle(s) used in the laptop refuse to work with the pc.

I made several (>20) tries with reboot and hcid reload.
hcitool dev and hciconfig -a:
- mostly showed nothing (no devices)
- about two times showed the dongles correctly but hciconfig -a failed with a timeout (hciconfig hci0 revision as well)
- once, the dongle wasn't up. doing hciconfig hci0 up freezed
- lsusb [-b] freezed
- dmesg, /var/log/messages didn't get any entries

I strongly assume this has something to to with the usb port. maybee it's broken or i'm missing something important (software)...

any ideas/help very appreciated

regards
Marco

Hello Marcel

There's not yet(?) a patch for the 2.6.12 kernel on bluez.org.
Or are these patches only improvements/bugfixes for the available bluetooth support that's already in the kernel?

regards
Marco

Hi Marco,

I tried with the 2.6.11-7 and it works now.

Well, I'm pretty surprised because the 2.6.7 works on another pc. But well.. it works and i'm happy. Thank you for the hint marcel.

regards
Marco
