Internal bluetooth can't scan for devices.

Hi
I got an Acer Aspire E1-572G with an internal bluetooth device which i can't get working.

The device shows up fine when i run "hciconfig -a":

hci1:	Type: BR/EDR  Bus: USB
	BD Address: 24:FD:52:D6:85:93  ACL MTU: 1022:8  SCO MTU: 183:5

	LMP Version: 4.1 (0x7)  Subversion: 0x1
	Manufacturer: Atheros Communications, Inc. (69)

However when i try to scan  for devices, nothing shows up.

When i use an usb bluetooth adapter, the device I'm trying to find (an bluetooth GPS right now, but it's the same for other devices) shows up just fine.

When running lsusb, the device is listed as

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04ca:300b Lite-On Technology Corp.

Is somebody able to help with getting it working?

Kind Regards
Stefan
