Comment 252 for bug 268502

I am running jaunty 9.04 2.6.28-15 with bluez 4.42 and still having issues.
tryied with several kernel ranging from 2.6.27-11 , 2.6.28-11 and 2.6.29.6 with bluez 4.32 and bluez 4.42 having the same results.
Sometimes the dongle is well recognized and can pair, and transfer files, some other times not.
restarting bluetooth (/etc/init.d/bluetooth restart) removing btusb, starting bluetooth again and then insterting the module again seems to work but again, just sometimes.

I've read that there is an actual fix, it seems to be a btusb issue, how can i go back to the previous driver, just by recompiling manuall another kernel?

The configuration that i have now is:
root@redemption:~# uname -a

Typical message:

- After stopping bluetoog (/etc/init.d/bluetooth stop)
- rmmod btusb
- modprobe btusb
I get this:
