Subject: [Q] Crappy bluetooth usb adapter is timing out

Hi,

I have some generic (chinese) bluetooth usb adapter
that I want to use on linux 2.6.23.17 box, I'm using
bluez 4.95 stack.

(I now the kernel is very old, but I just need some
generic clue ;)

When I run this code:

  for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
  do
      hciconfig hci0 reset
  done

I get this message:
"Can't init device hci0: Connection timed out (110)"

I've tracked this down to hciconfig.c, when it calls
HCIDEVUP ioctl.

I just wanted to know if I'm doing anything wrong, and
if I can raise any timer value, so I don't get the timeout error.

I guess I just could retry the operation, but it's a nice oportunity
to dive into interesting code.

Thanks in advance,
Ezequiel.
