BT dongle - ASUS USB-BT400 not working












0















I run on one problem. My USB Bluetooth dongle ASUS USB-BT400 is not working.
I'm googling whole day for some clues, but without success. Could you please help me?



USB deviace is properly found:



lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 0b05:17cb ASUSTek Computer, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 17ef:4816 Lenovo


But when I try to hciconfig, I don't get any output.



I tried it with some old BT dongle, and that worked... But I need to use especially this one because of BT4.0 support.



According to this: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2013-September/053719.html
It uses BCM20702A chipset, which should work under Linux, but maybe it's not properly recognized with this device? (Same issue, which is described in the linked site)



I will appreciate any help.

          I e-mailed Asus support to see if the Asus Bluetooth BT-400 was compatible with Ubuntu. They were no help so I took the chance and ordered one.



          I wanted to use this on an older Toshiba Laptop to connect my Motorola S9-HD Headset that is generally connected to my phone for hands free driving. It works great with 12.10 and 13.10. I have also tested this on my towers at home that is running 13.10.



          I used the bluetooth setup wizard in system settings. There is one hitch. I have to turn off the Bluetooth on my phone. If my head set is connected to the phone it will NOT connect to the another device.



          Unfortunately I don't have another Bluetooth device to this with.



          I hope this helps.
