Greetings again;

by blindly modprobing just about everything in /lib/modules/`uname -
r`/kernel/drivers/bluetooth and retrying blueman-manager, I finally hit the 
magic twanger in the right place and its working.

Now, it seems to me I should be able to add a stanza in 
/etc/udev/rules.d/bluetooth-serial.rules to make this completely automatic 
on boot.

Here is what I have modprobed now that makes it work:
[root@coyote bluetooth]# lsmod |grep rfcomm
rfcomm                 23697  23 
l2cap                  32434  18 rfcomm,bnep
bluetooth              39235  11 btsdio,hci_uart,rfcomm,sco,bnep,l2cap,btusb

What would a new stanza for udev/rules.d/bluetooth-serial.rules that will 
make this work for every boot look like for this bt button/dongle?
