Comment 0 for bug 289836

I upgraded from Hardy x64 to Intrepid x64 a few days back. After upgrade bluetooth doesn't work. No icon in the tray, nothing. After restarting the bluetooth service with /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart the icon pops up, but it's a complete dud. Cannot set my computers bluetooth-name, can't pair devices, can't send or receive files. Nothing.

This is what's logged in daemon.log:

lsusb lists the device as:

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0a5c:200a Broadcom Corp. Bluetooth dongle

How do I check if a driver is loaded for it? lsmod | grep blue gives me:

bluetooth 70820 28 bnep,sco,rfcomm,l2cap,btusb

but that doesn't change even if I yank the dongle from my computer.

I have the latest updates to Intrepid applied.
