problem to bring up my BT-Device up and running

Hi *,
I have a problem to bring up my BT-Device up and running. I used my BT-USB-Stick already success full under plain Linux, but now I get a request to make the same under VMWare 5.0 on a Windows host. Btw, it was not my idea. I installed all needed software, but it doesn't seem to work.

If I try

I get only this message:
Can't init device hci0: Connection timed out (110)

The reason is unclear for me. Is it a problem with the latest software release or is it problematic to use BT-USB over VMWare ?

I attached my kernel-log output with enabled hci_usb debug message. If you want to skip the boot-up message look for @MARK.

Here a summary of my config:
----------------------------
BT-USB stick:
ACER BT600 or Toshiba Version 2.0 edr
(both tested)

Host type:
Debian 3.1 on VMWare 5.0 on Win2k

Version information:

Linux Kernel 2.6.14.1-mh2
bluez-utils 2.22
bluez-libs 2.22
bluez-firmware 1.1

Any hints are welcome!

nice greetings,
harald
