Of course some recent applets do not work with an older bluez. (I have
no Bluetooth icon either in the tray. ) I would not rely on applets to
judge whether a device is recognized or not. I am certainly not a
command line fanatic and I prefer GUI apps (when they work). But when
they don't, you have to try some commands to make sure, in this case
"lsusb", "hciconfig" (should show the Mac address and state "Running" --
if it does), "hcitool scan" (should see the phone and give it's Mac
address).

I must confess that I had trouble in pairing. But ultimately it worked.

Anyway, you may have a different situation. I do connect Wammu to my
Nokia 6021 phone through Bluetooth under Intrepid with a "ID 2001:f111
D-Link Corp. [hex] DBT-122 Bluetooth adapter" but I cannot guarantee
that it works for all dongles and all phones on all computers for all
purposes.
