OK, I have just installed a ready fresh Fedora Core 3 distribution kernel 2.6.9-1.667, no additional packages from bluez.org (I'm guessing they are included in my linux distribution, is this correct?). So, I plug a Conceptronic CBT100U adapter device (listed in bluetooth adapter list www.holtmann.org), execute hcitool dev, and all I get is:

Devices:

...anything else. By the way, I get the same response in three different linux boxes with the same kernel version.
I'm afraid this is not the best welcome I could hope, or it is? so I would like your opinion for that. Also, I wonder how can I know which of the bluez downloads should I install and which don't, and how can I know if they are already installed on my system (also Linux novice, excuses for that..)

Thanks in advance,

check with "hciconfig -a" if your device is detected and if it is up and running.

Thanks Marcel!
Well, I'm enjoying quite a lot now...
I wasn't able to execute hciconfig, it is not in the path variable by default so I have to fix it.
Once I discovered the hciconfig tool I got very happy and set the device up (by the way I needed root privileges)
So far, so good:
[root@castejon sbin]# ./hciconfig -a hci0 up
[root@castejon sbin]# ./hciconfig -a
hci0: Type: USB
