Run the command: /usr/sbin/hciconfig -a  and see if your computer see 
the Mac address of your bluetooth dongle.
If so , run the command:  hcitool scan to see if it can see the Mac 
address of any bluetooth devices you have on.

Fedora 8 runs best with bluetooth.
You must have the following 4 modules loaded, by running /sbin/lsmod

rfcomm
l2cap
bluetooth
hci_usb   (This module will only load if you have the dongle connected)
 
If the 4 modules are not loading , blue tooth won't work.
