Comment 10 for bug 342025

Although this bug report is closed, I want to say that I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 with Broadcom Bluetooth device not detected. I installed kbluetooth4 as kdawgud said, but in my case I had no luck. The dev is not detected:

$ sudo hid2hci

It's not there. However, the kernel knows about it:
