Hi,
Twiced I have posted about my problem with setting up the bluetooth in the latitude X1 mobile... to recap everything seems to be detected and working fine but instead of scanning, it only send "vendor events". No one was able to explain what was going on. (see archives for logs etc) Update!
according to this site:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Dell_Latitude_X1

Quoted 3 lines

Note:if you disable the device from redmond's OS (by the icon,not the Fn+F2 keys) the device will NOT work under linux!Interface will be recognized but you will not be able to scanning or making connections!

Woooops, sounds exactly like what I am experiencing, and I did play with the icons on the first boots with windows on that machine.

I had heard of similar problems with networks card before but never for bluetooth cards.

So could it be that I'm stuck? That the windows driver set some "off" bit on the bluetooth card... Has anyone had this kind of problems before? What are my options (apart the obvious one: to reinstall windows and remove it, just to set bluetooth on)...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Arthur Breitman
