Hi. I've looked through various forums and this issue crops up periodically and still seems not to be resolved.
I have a Belkin Bluetooth F8T001 dongle which is not getting loaded up correctly. I looked in DMESG and found ...

Others have said everything was resolved having loaded Bluetooth support via the package manager - I looked at the list of what was already installed and found 4.32-0ubuntu4.1 was in place.
I'm using ubuntu 9.04 fully patched on an Acer Aspire One.
Any suggestions?
Solution:
It transpires that the dongle requests two firmware files but the ones on the distribution have the wrong name. The solution is to rename the files in /etc/firmware to exactly match what the dongle is expecting.
