Location: Chicago, USA. Re: Bluetooth Dongle not detected by hcitool. Sun Dec 15, 2013 4:21 pm. Normally the adapter is brought up at boot, but yours is down as shown by the hciconfig results.

I tried linux-zen again which is 5.15.x, it is not working either, I trid linux-hardended which is 5.14.x, it finally works.CSR dongle 0a12:0001.

I recently got a Bluetooth Dongle (USB 2.0 MINI BLUETOOTH V2.0 EDR DONGLE - a.k.a CSR Bluetooth USB dongle) and tried on both the laptops.
