Bluetooth won't start (Solved)

[Featherfoot]

I have been having trouble getting Bluetooth to work on my amd64 system for a while.

The latest issue is that it won't even start, although it did start with other systems. I need some advice on how to fix it.

Here's what's happening: I"d appreciate your advice.

I have verified that /etc/udev/rules.d/90-bluetooth.rules matches the default settings shown in the Wiki

[sebB]

Anything in dmesg when you plug your USB bluetooth?

Use bbcode, your post will be most readable

[Featherfoot]

Thank you for your help. We're making progress.

I have located the driver package and installed it, but I don't see the exact file that it is looking for. i renamed the A0 file to A1 and it worked!

I can even copy files to my gentoo system.


Thank you for your help.
