Hi Marcel, I think the desktop's dongle might be to blame when the old laptop fails to pair to that. I've had more Bluetooth problems on the desktop, e.g. being unable to remove paired devices of the dongle's previous owner. The Bluetooth sticker on the downside of the old laptop lists: Broadcom BCM92035NMD CE 370653-003 Universal Scientific Industrial Contains FCC ID: QDS-BRCM1009 IC: 4324A-BRCM1009 SCT: RCPBRBC04-389 CMI ID: 2003DJ1517 CNC 16-3215 along with a lot of text in other languages. Other BCM2035 USB ID's have BTUSB_WRONG_SCO_MTU but that option really does not work reliably on this old laptop. Everything's now working with Linux on this HP Compaq nc6120, except Bluetooth.
