[Bug 329828] Re: Bluetooth/Bluez 4.xx unable to use some adapters

Without Bluez, the dongle functions with btusb.
With bluetoothd started, things are broken.

I stop everything:
sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop
sudo hciconfig hci0 down
sudo rmmod btusb
sudo hciconfig hci0
Can't get device info: No such device

I start btusb and hci0:
sudo modprobe btusb

Looks like the dongle is functioning OK. It sees my phone and pings it.

I start bluetootd: sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
 * Starting bluetooth

sudo hciconfig -a
