Bluetooth not working

[Cosmin L]

Binary package hint: bluez

The bluetooth icon in Gnome is grayed out, right clicking on it and choosing "Turn Off Bluetooth" produces the following messages in syslog:

Jun 29 00:52:22 dell kernel: [ 1649.842531] usb 1-1.1: USB disconnect, address 29

Jun 29 00:52:22 dell kernel: [ 1649.888945] usb 1-1.1.2: USB disconnect, address 31

Choosing "Turn On Bluetooth" produces the following:

I've seen a related bug (number #554431) and two reboots did not help in my case.
I'll provide any additional information if needed.

How can it be resoved ?

Sorry..
How can it be resolved??

If I only knew... think it has something to do with the bluetooth device being in the HID mode and not switching to HCI.

does the last comment mean that you could in fact make it work somehow?
