[Bug 762964] Re: Bluetooth doesn't work in Ubuntu 11.04

[wnutt]

I apologize if this should have been another in another bug/thread.

I have been having various problems with what lsusb shows to be "ID
0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)"
after much digging and frustration I found that there are "fake"(not
Cambridge Silicon Radio hardware) dongles.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519176#c37

After opening the dongle, I found almost exactly what was described. The
only difference is that the number on my device was "AS3610QA C0912CAT",
AS361 instead of the mentioned AS362. You may not need to open your
dongle to find this out. The hardware address range for Accel is
00:1F:81 or 00:1F:81:00:00:00 - 00:1F:81:FF:FF:FF.

lots more info on this issue here: http://www.linux-archive.org/debian-
kernel/542442-bug-525220-bluetooth-problem-caused-fake-dongles.html

uname -a :   Linux StarBug1 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
And the current state of operation is that I can get as far as pairing after running "sudo service bluetooth stop" then "sudo service bluetooth start", restart does not seem to change anything. 

I am willing to do testing but don't know more than a little bash.
