Comment 43 for bug 249448

I'm experiencing exactly the same with my adapter and Targus bluetooth mouse. The adapter is reported as ID 0b05:b700 and it's apparently a broadcom BT-253 device. It sits in an ASUS eee 901.

First the mouse wouldn't reconnect at all. Then I followed the advice here to set bluez to "always visible" and reboot. This helped: My mouse now reconnects, but ONLY if I wait turning it on until everything's started. If I accidentally leave the mouse on during boot, there is no hope of getting it to work. Even if I restart /etc/init.d/bluetooth
