bluetooth dongle D-Link DBT-120 isn't recognized

Hello
I have a problem with a D-Link DBT-120 bluetooth-dongle.
Linux seems to recognize it, but it does not appear as bluetooth device. The device works on another linuxsystem.

lsusb:
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

/var/log/messages.log beim einstecken des Sticks:
Jul  5 11:23:00 pcflo usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 6
Jul  5 11:23:00 pcflo usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

/etc/conf.d/bluetooth:
# Run the hcid daemon (default: true)
DAEMON_ENABLE="true"
#[...]
# Run the bluetooth HID daemon (default: false)
HIDD_ENABLE="true"
#[...]

hcitool dev:

hciconfig
hci0:    Type: USB
    BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0
    DOWN
    RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0
    TX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 commands:0 errors:0

Then: hciconfig hci0 up

->
hci0:    Type: USB
    BD Address: 00:0F:3D:48:F2:0B ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8
    UP RUNNING
    RX bytes:348 acl:0 sco:0 events:11 errors:0
    TX bytes:35 acl:0 sco:0 commands:10 errors:0

hcitool dev
Devices:
    hci0    00:0F:3D:48:F2:0B

But it still is not recognized by bluetooth-applet. What should it do, to change this?
On my other linuxsystem I don't need to enter anything. Just put the dongle in and bluetooth works fine.

I would be glad, if someone could help me.

Re: bluetooth dongle D-Link DBT-120 isn't recognized

Just curious: Have you actually started the daemons needed with `/etc/rc.d/hcid start; /etc/rc.d/hidd start` ? I've never personally dealt with bluetooth, though, so I can't give you more help than theoretical .

Also, what was your "other linuxsystem"?

Re: bluetooth dongle D-Link DBT-120 isn't recognized

It works excellent with Fedora 9 (same pc).

bash-3.2# /etc/rc.d/hcid start
bash: /etc/rc.d/hcid: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
bash-3.2# /etc/rc.d/hidd start
bash: /etc/rc.d/hidd: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
bash-3.2# locate hcid
/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
/usr/sbin/hcid
/usr/share/man/man5/hcid.conf.5.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/hcid.8.gz
/usr/src/linux-2.6.25-ARCH/include/config/bt/hcidtl1.h
/var/lib/pacman/sync/community/bluez-hcidump-1.41-1
/var/lib/pacman/sync/community/bluez-hcidump-1.41-1/depends
/var/lib/pacman/sync/community/bluez-hcidump-1.41-1/desc

Is there missing a package?

`ls /etc/rc.d` I might just have the daemon name wrong.

If it's not in there, /usr/sbin/hcid should be a hint enough about how to start the daemon.

Re: bluetooth dongle D-Link DBT-120 isn't recognized

The daemon is /etc/rc.d/bluetooth. For future reference, the file list for the bluez-utils package provides this information.
