I *DO* Have a USB Bluetooth Dongle plugged into one of my USB ports. I removed it the plugged it into another USB port. This time I did not get the "No such device" message... instead I got "Scanning ..." followed by another shell prompt. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ hcitool scan Scanning ... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ The USB Bluetooth Dongle I am using does *NOT* have any switch/es on it. It does however has a LED which blinks on/off at approx 3-4 second intervals. > and yes my mobile phone was switched on with Tools / Connectivity / > > Bluetooth / Mode / On & visible > > > > That's the message that is returned by 'hcitool' when there is no usable > Bluetooth adapter on your computer.

As I mentioned above, yes, I have a USB Bluetooth Dongle installed in a USB port. <snip> > > Samps > Regards, PEW ;-))) -- Fond Regards, Peter Eric (aka 'pew') WILLIAMS My free website is: http://pewtas.googlepages.com (or) http://tinyurl.com/yuyejs (please visit my free website and let me know what you think about it.)
