Hello! I'm developing some kind of headless bluetooth terminal, based on Gentoo Linux. Currently it's casual x86 pc with 2 usb bluetooth dongles.
Dongles have been plugged to usb ports and not being removed. After sturtap, system can't see one (randomly) of them. The second one are turned off and not blinking at all. When I'm reconnecting the second dongle, it becomes visible and works fine. Here it is: # hciconfig -a hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:11:67:20:16:C4 ACL MTU: 678:8 SCO MTU: 48:10 UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN RX bytes:980 acl:0 sco:0 events:26 errors:0 TX bytes:344 acl:0 sco:0 commands:26 errors:0 Features: 0xbf 0xfe 0x8d 0x78 0x08 0x18 0x00 0x00 Packet type: DM1 DM3 DM5 DH1 DH3 DH5 HV1 HV2 HV3 Link policy: RSWITCH HOLD SNIFF PARK Link mode: SLAVE ACCEPT Name: 'BlueZ (0)' Class: 0x3e0100 Service Classes: Networking, Rendering, Capturing, Object Transfer, Audio Device Class: Computer, Uncategorized HCI Ver: 1.2 (0x2) HCI Rev: 0x1fe LMP Ver: 1.2 (0x2) LMP Subver: 0x1fe Manufacturer: Integrated System Solution Corp.
