Hi All,

  I bought a USB Bluetooth dongle.

However, it's not working for me. Please help, how to debug and get more
information as I can not see any error or warning message from system log
message.

I checked http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.kernel/22183/focus=22211,
however, also find another page
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/6.3_Release_Notes/index.html
said
already support BCM20702A0.

Please help, thank you.
