I have a Broadcom BT dongle with roughly the same issues. Years ago I
created a /etc/rc.d/rc.local file containing:

hciconfig hci0 up

For recent Fedoras note that you now have to explicitly enable rc.local
for it to run:

systemctl enable rc-local

I also find the dongle sometimes doesn't power on after returning from
hibernation. Haven't found a fix for that other than keeping an extra
mouse so I can enable it manually.


If is any consolation, my new iMac also requires that I keep a USB mouse
handy for the same reason.  Curiously, the wireless keyboard is generally
(but not always) recognized, but sometimes I have to borrow a USB keyboard
to log in.
