good. then you will most likely get it to work. if you
get it to attach (see below).

well, this is a USB problem and has nothing to do with Bluetooth.

you have a USB hub inside your laptop. for whatever reason USB stack
does not like Bluetooth(?) USB devices when they plugged into hub.

i have exactly the same problem with my laptop (Toshiba Tecra 8100).
when i put it into the docking station (docking station has USB hub
inside) my Bluetooth USB dongle stops working :( when i plug device
directly into the laptop (without hub) evrything is working fine.

i found out that if i unplug and re-plug the dongle quickly several
times i can get it to attach. i guess you could try to press the
Bluetooth button quickly few times :)

i asked several times about this problem, but nobody answered :(
you could try to do the same. i guess FreeBSD does not have
USB guru anymore :(

bottom line: ugen(4) must attach to the device, *if* USB stack
attach the device. if you get the device to attach then you most
likely will have working Bluetooth.

thanks,
max
