Why won't my Bluetooth Dongle work?

Zambini · December 29th, 2007

Right now I have a Integrated System Solution Corp. KY-BT100 Bluetooth Adapter, but for some reason it doesn't work with Linux....

even though it says on this site that it does work.....

Soooo... how do I get it working? Here's what I see when I do lsusb

Code:

ryan@ryan-laptop:~$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1131:1001 Integrated System Solution Corp. KY-BT100 Bluetooth Adapter
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

and hciconfig

Code:

ryan@ryan-laptop:~$ hciconfig
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 11:11:11:11:11:11 ACL MTU: 678:8 SCO MTU: 64:10
        UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN
        RX bytes:385 acl:0 sco:0 events:18 errors:0
        TX bytes:322 acl:0 sco:0 commands:18 errors:0

or does this not work with Ubuntu (Kernel 2.6.15-29-386)

If so, whats a good linux-compatible usb bluetooth dongle?
