Beware also that hci devices, like others, are numbered in the order they are assigned in. This box has hci0, but it's part of the wifi chip and is a bluetooth interface which I have paired with my phone in times past.
If you are 'plugging in' a device, and if you have a wifi/bluetooth contraption, you are likely to be looking for hci1, not hci0.
Compulsory kit for this stuff is hcitools; bluezd; obexftp for file transfer. Install those. Then should show your bluetooth devices that the kernel sees.

Hi
my distro is : Mandriva 2012
These are related existing files in /usr/bin/ :
-blutooth-applet
-bluetooth-sendto
-bluetooth-wizard
-bluez pin
-hcitool type: shared library
........................................................
entered commands :
//urpmi bluezd
no package named bluezd
//urpmi obexftp
package gvfs-obexftp-1.12.3-mdv2012.0.i586 is already installed...etc
//urpmi hcitools
no package named hcitools
I also had paired my computer with my mobile phone in the past to be able to use mobile internet when bluetooth was working normally
Recently i used bluetooth-wizard to scan for new devices
I also had made my computer undiscoverable/invisible by other buetooth devices
................................
finally i entered :
//hcitool scan
output was just :
searching...
So , it seems that my bluetooth is working but hidden and with a very high priority!
Regards
