Created attachment 330702 [details] lsusb -v output Ok, so I have a Dell Latitude D630 running F10. It has a blutooth device but it just doesn't work. There's the little gnome applet thing running but it does nothing. I'm just dumping all the info I can think of about it as attachments. I've tried to add options btusb reset=1 to /etc/modprobe.conf and also to run $ sudo hciconfig hci0 reset and none of those worked. I still get $ hcitool scan Scanning ... $ i.e. nothing, while I'm sure I've got my phone bluetoothing along with other PC (running a proprietary OS) nearby. None of those can see my laptop either. Probably relevant software versions: bluez-4.22-2.fc10.i386 gnome-bluetooth-0.11.0-5.fc10.i386 bluez-cups-4.22-2.fc10.i386 gnome-bluetooth-libs-0.11.0-5.fc10.i386 bluez-gnome-1.8-11.fc10.i386 bluez-libs-4.22-2.fc10.i386 bluez-alsa-4.22-2.fc10.i386 kernel-PAE-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686

From this post http://marc.info/?l=linux-bluetooth&m=123229162921771&w=2 it seems this is yet another case of an uncooperative hardware vendor? Some more info as requested by Marcel Holtmann on that mail: $ sudo bccmd buildname Build name: cyt_8unified_fl_bt2.0_kymodo_21d_0702212310_encr56 2007-02-21 $ sudo hciconfig hci0 revision hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:1A:6B:C5:25:F2 ACL MTU: 310:10 SCO MTU: 64:8 Build 4315 Chip version: BlueCore4-External Max key size: 56 bit SCO mapping: HCI
Is there anything else I can do about this? I was going to report it upstream but couldn't find a bug tracker on the bluez project's website. I've tested the latest Fedora 11 Snapshot 1 and it didn't work there either.
Hi Matthew, I thought I could just add you in CC for this bug. Hopefully it won't just go unoticed in your bugzilla mail.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
