Subject: [Bluez-users] I-Tec Bluetooth USB -- Same Problem...

I'm having the same problem with the I-Tec device -- got it today, put =
it in -- and nothing comes up with HCICONFIG -- if I take it out, and p=
ut in the EPOX device -- the EPOX device works fine -- if I take it bac=
k out, and put the I-Tec back in, nothing.

Let me know if (and how) I can get you info to get it working.

Thanks.

Hi Dave,

> I'm having the same problem with the I-Tec device -- got it today, put it in -- and nothing comes up with HCICONFIG -- if I take it out, and put in the EPOX device -- the EPOX device works fine -- if I take it back out, and put the I-Tec back in, nothing.

I need a full USB SnoopyPro of all three devices this dongles presents.
With comparable timestamps of course.

> Let me know if (and how) I can get you info to get it working.

Is there anyone who will sponsor me a dongle of these?

Regards

Marcel

we are talking about the same dongle. I found the problem, why it
doesn't work and of course I fixed it. Here is the mailing list thread
about it

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.devel/1756

However don't expect to get any information from Broadcom. They are not
very helpful and actually some of there stuff is very ugly. For example
it is impossible to get the Apple Bluetooth mouse (Broadcom based)
working with the i-Tec dongle (also Broadcom based) in HID mode. All my
other HID devices are working perfect with its HID mode. Mostly all
Information about HID devices and HID proxy dongles can be found here

Marcel

Marcel,

I have lost all my patience. i-Tec is selling a dongle without any type
mark. I tried to contact Broadcom in order to get more information about
the chip that is in the bloody dongle. Unfortunatelly, I've sent the
mail two times without any reply. Marcel, have you any method how to
force Broadcom to, at least, reply my email? You have the copy of my
email, is there something inconvenient?

I propose to remove the i-Tec dongle from the working hardware list at
the page http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/devices.html, because
it is likely that any new dongle will be based on the same chipset.At
least there should be an information, that there exist another device
with the same vendor type and no type mark that is not working yet.

I'll probably go to my hardware shop and replace the i-Tec dongle with
another one with proper vendor and type marks. I'll try to handle my
complaint in a way that they sold me a dongle that I didn't wanted.

Regards,


Ruda Matousek
