Bluetooth discovery fails because with the Ralink chip the bluetooth radio is off by default, it need's to be switched on after each boot. This can be done with the command: sudo bccmd psset -s 0x0000 0x028c 0x0001
Afterwards restart bluetooth: sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart You can add this command to /etc/init.d/bluetooth (suggestion is to put it after the log_daemon_msg command) to switch the radio on automatically.
