Hello!
I'm new here, so I want to say this little word to everyone
I've just bought Dell 1555. I've got some problems with it and our best Linux distro.
I want to use bluetooth which is built-in to sync files with my phone. I went to wiki and made all steps. But when I typed in console "hcitool scan" and received "No such device", and for "hcitool dev" I have empty "Devices:" I tried to google something. But nope - there is nobody with this problem. I want to ask you for help - what I should do to get my built-in bluetooth working? I really appreciate any help.
P.S. I've tried Ubuntu 9.04 LiveCD to recognize if there is Linux support for this device - and it is.
EDIT: Prior to not responding from anyone - I've found that it is BCM2046 chip and should be supported by hci_usb driver which is replaced by btusb. But it isn't... Please help me, now I have to use Windows to copy files to my phone - it is not very good solution, because I spend much time on Arch...

did you read the wiki page on bluetooth and follow the instructions there?

Of course I did. Should I do it again? But I though that I could do things only one time, not a few like in another system, to get something working...
EDIT: It doesn't work this time too...
EDIT2: Yes, now it is working - I've found something about switching to hci from hid mode. For next who needs help - type in console hid2hci as root - then your device will appear. Thanks for help.
