Do you ever resolve this issue? I am having the identical problem with my Vaio VGN-TZ398U with the Sony VGP-BMS33 Bluetooth Laser Mouse and Ubuntu 8.04 (all updates are current)

running "hcitool scan" does not result in any devices being found

Any ideas?

What additional information would be helpful?

Try adding the following setting:

echo "options hci_usb reset=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/options

Because so many other drivers depend on hci_usb you can't simply unload and load it, you'll need to restart the PC to test.

The device is supported by the module, or at least is reported to be.

Just finally seeing this response... Unfortunately this addition did not fix the problem. Once again, I am able to browse this device, but it is unable to connect. I *believe* that it has something to do with an inability to ftp/tftp to the device (???). Any ideas? What other information can I provide that would be helpful?

What is the result of running hcitool dev?

I found this a while ago but just upgraded to jaunty (9.04) and had to do it all over again. Here is the link I followed:
