Title:
Gnome Control Panel does not detect Bluetooth USB adapter
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I plugged in a working Bluetooth USB adpater, and the Bluetooth
section of the Gnome Control Panel does not detect it. It continues to
say "Plug in a dongle to use Bluetooth." I've tried other USB ports
(this computer is new within the last 2 months), but none detect the
adapter. It's a Sabrent USB adapter, found here:

I'm not sure if I need some additional drivers or not.

I expected the Bluetooth adapter to allow Bluetooth to be turned on
after it was plugged in. I tried rebooting the machine with the
adapter plugged in and that didn't work either. Instead, nothing
happened.
