Hi all,

I'm trying to get my laptop's bluetooth chip to be recognized by the driver. I have a Dell Latitude E6500 running 2.6.27-rc6. From lsusb, I get this output:

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0a5c:4500 Broadcom Corp.
Device Descriptor:
bLength 18
bDescriptorType 1
bcdUSB 2.00

 bDeviceClass            9 Hub
 bDeviceSubClass         0 Unused
 bDeviceProtocol         0 Full speed (or root) hub
 bMaxPacketSize0         8

idVendor 0x0a5c Broadcom Corp.
idProduct 0x4500
bcdDevice 1.00
iManufacturer 1 Broadcom
iProduct 2 BCM2046B1

Now, the device is reporting that it's a hub, but the product is most certainly a bluetooth chip from Broadcom. I tried adding the 0a5c:4500 to the btusb driver, but the driver didn't seem to try to initialize the device. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to debug this?

Thanks for your help,
Bobby
