I have been struggling with this on an Asus Eee 1005HA. Both regular utilities and blueman pair, but browsing (obex ftp) fail. They also fail in Mint 14 (based on quantal) as well as Precise 12.04 (launched as live USB). Interestingly, everything seems to work OK with an Asus USB dongle on three other machines (I could not sort out how to use 2 bluetooth devices on the 1005HA). I suspect the dongle has a different chip. If it is useful, contact me (nashjc at uottawa.ca) offlist and tell me what info to get and also the commands to do so.

!0.04 Lucid, also run as live USB) DOES work. This supports the suggestion in other bug posts (e.g., one on fedora bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=747575 that the issue is somewhere in the kernel. However, it does also seem to be hardware-dependent.
