Hi, I have just bought a Belkin USB adapter 0x050d:0x016a, and according to hciconfig this is a Bluetooth 2.1 device: # hciconfig hci0 version revision hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:0A:3A:83:76:DA ACL MTU: 1021:8 SCO MTU: 64:1 HCI Ver: 2.1 (0x4) HCI Rev: 0x5184 LMP Ver: 2.1 (0x4) LMP Subver: 0x420e Manufacturer: Broadcom Corporation (15) Firmware 132.66 / 14 Does this mean that the adapter cannot possibly work correctly in anything less than a 2.6.27 kernel? Because it clearly *isn't* working correctly at the moment: # hciconfig hci0 name Can't read local name on hci0: Input/output error (5) # hciconfig hci0 class Can't read class of device on hci0: Input/output error (5) # hciconfig hci0 voice Can't read voice setting on hci0: Input/output error (5) # hciconfig hci0 iac Failed to read IAC from hci0: Input/output error etc. According to lsusb, this device is actually a USB hub with several other devices attached to it: $ /sbin/lsusb ...

(Apart from fry my e1000/e1000e network adapters, that is ;-).)
