[Bug 284982] Re: Bluetooth does not work at Acer Aspire 7520

[Damien Wendlinger]

I bought an USB Bluetooth key (Belkin - F8T013), which works fine, immediately after connexion.
Nothing to do, really, not even a "bluetooth restart"...

Here some clues, maybe !
damien at vostro:~$ lsmod | grep bluetooth
bluetooth              61924  23 btusb,sco,bnep,rfcomm,l2cap
             ==> before having that key, I had no 'btusb'
damien at vostro:~$ dmesg | grep 'Bluetooth'

             ==> before having that key, I had not this Generic BT USB driver

before having the key, daemon.log said :
