I *DO* Have a USB Bluetooth Dongle plugged into one of my USB ports. I
removed it the plugged it into another USB port.

This time I did not get the "No such device" message... instead I got
"Scanning ..." followed by another shell prompt.

peter at peter-desktop:~$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
peter at peter-desktop:~$

The USB Bluetooth Dongle I am using does *NOT* have any switch/es on it. It
does however has a LED which blinks on/off at approx 3-4 second intervals.

As I mentioned above, yes, I have a USB Bluetooth Dongle installed in a USB
port.
