Cirago bta3310

Hello,
I have the above bt dongle and I am unable to get the device to scan for
remote devices. The dongle and bluetooth software is recognized and
from a system point of view is working. Using Suse 11.3 64bits

Scanning …

When I scan the blue led comes on solid and goes back to blinking afterwords but
nothing is found. I did try another adapter and the bluetooth worked.

BTW The Bluedevel application is real nice and works much better then the kdebluetooth app,

Thanks in advance.

I have tried installing the latest bluez but the results are the same. I have emailed the manufacturer
and they say the dongle works in Linux. They also state there are two bluetooth stacks bluex and
affix, the affix from what I can tell nobody uses it and is almost abandoned so that one isn’t worth
tryimg. It would require reconfiguring the kernel and any update would kill it anyhow.
This dongle is a bluetooth 3.0 which uses the motorola chip if this makes any difference.
One thing is I don’t know the commands to perhaps switch the dongle down to version 2 or lower.
