is it possible to use a digitus tiny usb blutooth 4.0 adapter under opensuse 12.1?
if I plug the bluetooth adapter into my desktop, and nothing happend, does that mean it is not recognised?
/var/log/messages lists the usb device
when I start bludevil via kde-kickoff I geta dancing blutooth icon that disapears after a while.
starting adapter via kde-kickoff results in a window that sas that no bluetooth adapter had been found.
“modprobe bluetooth” -> same results
is the adapter not supported yet?
would I have to start a kernel module or other program by hand or do some yast) configuration?
thanks

ok, I should have written dongle instead of adapter…>:(
/var/log/messages says:

so at least it connects.
lsusb gives:

hciconfig, however, gives no output at all.
does that mean that the stick is not supported?
I seem to have issues with my bluetooth adapters from time to time. It’s real weird too because it only seems to be an issue when I don’t use bluetooth for a while that it stops working. Maybe somehow it knows I’m not using it and just turns it off quietly… Creepy…
For real, try this in console:
sudo modprobe -r btusb
sudo modprobe btusb
Than enter this in console:
dmesg
To see if there are any errors.
If there aren’t any run:
hciconfig
If that doesn’t work for you, I’m not sure what else to tell you.
After the install of the latest kernel 3.7.10-1.4 in openSUSE 12.3, I had to cold reboot my machine before the adapter decided to work for me trouble free.
