check upstream if it's a regression in the kernel.

I don't know how exactly I am supposed to do this. Should I read the changelog ( http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.38 ) or should I search for bug reports?

Same problem. When I launch bluetoothd, my adapter is not recognized. When I log in as root and run "hciconfig hci0 down; hciconfig hci0 up", it starts working. Somehow, bluetoothd fails to initialize the adapter on its own the first time. Does this help in your case, too?

Thomas: thanks, it works with your instructions. I added them to rc.local as a temporary fix.

Does the problem persists with the latest (.39) kernel and bluez (4.93-2)?

I guess it got fixed at some point. I unplugged the adapter and plugged it in again and it initializes/works fine.
