Hi Linus, I'm sorry bothering you, but my usb-bluetooth dongle stop working in
2.6.39 kernel series.
I know it is nothing ground breaking but it is bug.
I'm using this hardware from 2.6.11 kernel series.
Details are included in this thread:

I hope I'm doing nothing false writing this email.

Same device, same problem here.

You are not alone

Ring any bells for anyone?

Probably should open a regression bug for this too....

I think this is regression with d5859e22cd40b73164b3e5d8d5d796f96edcc6af
commit. Probably the code tries to enable something that is not supported.

Could you pastebin hcidump while doing hciconfig hci0 up?
