I am trying to make my brand new Arch Linux to detect a simple USB bluetooth dongle. I tried following this wiki, but when I type: Code: hcitool dev The oputput is: Code: bash-3.2# hcitool dev Devices: bash-3.2# The device is not recognized, I guess. I must admin I have typed a Code: modprobe bluetooth And now the bluetooth module is started before I login. Is there a way to solve this? Or maybe a way to remove the bluetooth module? I tried typing: Code: modprobe -r bluetooth But I receive this output: Code: FATAL: Module bluetooth is in use. I tried typing it in TTY1, before the GDM starts, but the output is the same...
