Hi newbie to Linux and would like help on a few things. Ive installed Hard Heron- running well and stable. Ive come over

1. How to install my bluetooth IVT Bluesoil Adapter Dongle?
2. How to install my webcam.


1. IT Bluetooth Adapter- have installed the software but its not picking up the hardware.

Heres some info:

Its picking up my webcam, mouse and card reader cant see my bluetooth adapter.
Heres the var log and it does register something when i plug in the adapter.

Nov 20 09:29:00 kids-desktop kernel: [49308.260363] usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 21
Ive tried installing it on Fedora- picks it up automatically- no problems.

can anyone help?

2. The same with my webcam- maybe with it listed on the list of USB items it may be easier.

Thanks for any suggestions in advance. Regards John
