NForce3 USB Controller problems

[kmax]

Hi,
I have a laptop running Mandriva linux 10.2 64bit LE2005 on a hp
pavilion 5410us with an amd athlon 64bit processor. My problem is that
I have a Linksys Bluetooth BT100 dongle that doesnt seem to work at all.
When i do "hciconfig" or a "hcitool dev" i get no devices found. I
he 1x2.0 USB and 2x1.1 USB ports.All my other USB devices work great
except the bluetooth dongle. I think that its prob my nforce3 usb
controller but i dont know how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

What does lsusb show? Do you have a linux usb driver for the BT
adapter? Is it loaded? Since this is not a native bluetooth device I
assume you'll have to configure the USB linux driver for it and possibly
address the devices connected to it as USB. You'll probably get better
info than this in the Mandrake newsgroup. I've never used any BT devices
or usb->BT adapters.
