Broadcom 2035 USB Dongle

Hello,

I've just spent a few hours struggling to get GPRS Bluetooth connections
to work with a Broadcom 2035 (OEM) USB Dongle and my Nokia 6230i. The
dongle address is for some reason set to 00:00:00:00:00:00. "hcitool can" and similar commands return "Device not available: No such device". While I was about to think that this dongle wouldn't work with linux/BlueZ at all, I accidently addressed it explicitly with "hcitool -i hci0 scan" and voila... it works.

Though the null-set address and such, I can connect to my provider and everything. So this device works well, you developers probably just need to "recognize" it better and find out how to make sure it get's a proper address.

Please tell me if I can help you out. I have no programming skills but I can always try out some code or so :-)

Best regards
