I have followed a number of different guides/how-to's and almost have my
HP (Broadcom) USB Bluetooth dongle going.

I have compiled Bluetooth support into my 2.6.11 MM sources kernel:

Code:
#
# FIR device drivers
#
# CONFIG_USB_IRDA is not set
# CONFIG_SIGMATEL_FIR is not set
# CONFIG_NSC_FIR is not set
# CONFIG_WINBOND_FIR is not set
# CONFIG_TOSHIBA_FIR is not set
# CONFIG_SMC_IRCC_FIR is not set
# CONFIG_ALI_FIR is not set
# CONFIG_VLSI_FIR is not set
# CONFIG_VIA_FIR is not set
CONFIG_BT=m
CONFIG_BT_L2CAP=m
# CONFIG_BT_SCO is not set
CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM=m
CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM_TTY=y
# CONFIG_BT_BNEP is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HIDP is not set

#
# Bluetooth device drivers
#
CONFIG_BT_HCIUSB=m
# CONFIG_BT_HCIUSB_SCO is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIUART is not set
CONFIG_BT_HCIBCM203X=m
CONFIG_BT_HCIBPA10X=m
CONFIG_BT_HCIBFUSB=m
# CONFIG_BT_HCIDTL1 is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIBT3C is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIBLUECARD is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIBTUART is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIVHCI is not set


dmesg registers the dongle being plugged in:

Code:
Bluetooth: L2CAP ver 2.7
Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized
Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.5
Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized
Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized


The bluetooth service starts just fine:

Code:
# /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
 * Starting Bluetooth ...
 *     Starting hcid ...                                                
[ ok ]
 *     Starting sdpd ...                                                
[ ok ]
 *     Starting rfcomm ...                                              
[ ok ]


Dongle is listed in lsusb:

Code:
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0a5c:3503 Broadcom Corp. <--
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0a5c:3502 Broadcom Corp. <--
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 03f0:0624 Hewlett-Packard <--
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0a5c:3535 Broadcom Corp. <--
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:c016 Logitech, Inc. Optical Mouse
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000


It is certainly up and running:

Code:

# hciconfig
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:10:C6:37:CA:FE ACL MTU: 377:10 SCO MTU: 16:0
        UP RUNNING
        RX bytes:117 acl:0 sco:0 events:16 errors:0
        TX bytes:330 acl:0 sco:0 commands:16 errors:0
#


But:

Code:
# hcitool inq
Inquiring ...
Inquiry failed.: Connection timed out
# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
Inquiry failed: Connection timed out
#


My mobile phone (Nokia 6260) is definitely visible for searching (my XP
box can find it using the same dongle).

Any suggestions for getting it working?
