Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter not connecting

Hi there again and thanks for taking your time to read this.

Currently I've a problem connecting my Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter (Model: F8T013).

Here my /var/log/messages.log after pluging in the stick

$ tail /var/log/messages.log
Sep  5 14:06:48 localhost kernel: [13991.715295] usb 1-1: new full-speed USB device number 12 using uhci_hcd

$ hcitool scan

$ hciconfig -a hci0

The bluetooth service is started. Unfortunately I'm out of ideas now - any tips?

Not even a slight idea what's going on there?

Re: Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter not connecting

I'm getting the same hciconfig up output.

Saw this thread https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/10/117 - which has a patch at the end of it, but it should be merged in 3.10. I upgraded to 3.11 just in case, same issue.

What's your lsusb output for this device? Mine:

Bus 005 Device 004: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

(whoa it's like i'm actually using a forum, i can even use bbcode)
