Using the instructions in this answer I was able to get Bluetooth working with a small Asus branded USB receiver. I was able to see other Bluetooth devices in the area, but whenever I put my Motorola S10 headset in discoverable mode and ran the hcitool scan command, it would freeze up for a moment and then return with the error Inquiry failed: Connection timed out

I am guessing it is probably just missing the required bits to enable the A2DP and/or Headset profiles that the S10 is reporting back as supporting. Is there a package I can just apt-get and enjoy? For what it is worth, I installed bluetooth, bluez-utils and blueman through apt-get.

You should try connecting the USB Bluetoorh dongle through a powered USB HUB. It might be a power issue. – Cracknel Aug 24 '12 at 11:56

I had a same problem, because I was using a powered USB HUB, plugging it in normally solved my problems. Maybe try that :) – DanFritz Sep 20 '12 at 22:43
