Firstly can I apologise if this is meant purely as a developer list,
the bluez website directs end users to this list as the place for
help.
I have a PC with an inbuilt Intel AC7260 combo wifi/BT card. This
card will NOT support the HID profile and appears as hci0.
I want to use my BT keyboard and mouse on a multi boot machine and
have spent the last few days getting this working across different OS
boots.
However now adding a DBT-120 dongle flashed to HID firmware works fine
once linux loads and I logon.....however I cannot enter the password
to the logon screen unless I remote to the box and hciconfig hci1 up,
I realise I could script this but would rather the DBT-120 was hci0 so
it would happen by default.
Is there a way to 'force' dongles to load in a specific order?
Thanks in advance
Tony

I don't think there is a way to pin USB BT dongle to specific hciX.

You may check AutoEnable option in policy section of main.conf file.
Setting it to true should auto enable (any) dongle after it is initialized by
bluetoothd.
