This computer comes by default with MS Windows from manufacturer, on Windows I can enable/disable Bluetooth from a systray applet provided by manufacturer's software. If I turn bluetooth on on Windows, then it is well detected by Linux and it works pretty well, but if I turn it off, then I have no way to turn it on in Linux, therefore, I depend on MS Windows to can enable my bluetooth device. When bluetooth is disabled (turned off), it is listed by lsusb like: Bus 005 Device 002: ID 13d3:3315 IMC Networks Bluetooth module but Bluedevil reports no devices found and I don't see any way to enable it again. If I enable the bluetooth on MS Windows and directly reboot into OpenSuse, then bluetooth is well detected by Bluedevil and it is usable. I have just the same problem in Ubuntu 11.10.

I have found another issue, but I think it is better to report it in a separate bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
