[SOLVED] Bluetooth Dongle not recognized

So, neither blueman nor gnome-bluetooth recognize my dongle. Currently I only have gnome-bluetooth installed. Says "Your computer does not have any Bluetooth adapters plugged in." I don't have KDE so I haven't tried that version of the tool.

Kernel: 2.6.32-ARCH.
Device: IOGEAR GBU221

According to this page, it should work.
Also, this thread says it works as well (out of the box with bluez).

The device itself is recognized:

$ hcitool dev
Devices:
    hci0    00:02:72:02:41:85

$ hciconfig -a hci0
hci0:    Type: USB

I can do stuff with the command line:

$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
    00:1C:35:A9:53:81    N1337

However, mouting does not mount anything. It doesn't return an error, but nothing is mounted.

Another error:

$ bluez-simple-agent

Any ideas?

How and why are you trying to mount it? It's not a block device, so you can't mount it, in the usual sense of that word.

EDIT: Issue automatically resolved, the device suddenly started working.
