I have tried kernel 3.14.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 and then hci0 was finally up and I could connect it to my old wiimote, but since my main goal was to connect to the new Wii U pro controller and it didn't pair, I decided to buy a new bluetooth adapter. This time, I reverted the kernel to the default 3.13. It worked fine and paired with the controller as well. To my surprise, both adapters get listed as the same model with lsusb:
$ lsusb | grep Bluetooth Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) When listed with hciconfig, hci0 is up, hci1 is down and any attempt to initialize it gets an "Operation not supported (95)" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314621 Title: 0a12:0001 [Lenovo G580] Bluetooth Dongle (Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd) doesnt work on ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1314621/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
