I have tried kernel 3.14.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 and then hci0 was finally up and I could connect it to my old wiimote, but since my main goal was to connect to the new Wii U pro controller and it didn't pair, I decided to buy a new bluetooth adapter. This time, I reverted the kernel to the default 3.13. It worked fine and paired with the controller as well. To my surprise, both adapters get listed as the same model with lsusb:
