As explained in the last 2 posts (chris972) http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7008700.html#7007466, my bluetooth doesn't work anymore with kernel 3.x but work fine with same configuration with 2.6. I spent days to find that was a problem with the kernel.
Please summarise the problem right here: 1) The device in question (vendor, mfgr, model name, USB ID and so on). 2) Relevant kernel output (dmesg) if any. 3) Post your `emerge --info' output in a comment, too. 4) Anything else that might be relevant to this particular issue.

Is this still an issue with the latest 3.5 kernel, which is 3.5.3 as of this writing.
(In reply to comment #4) > Is this still an issue with the latest 3.5 kernel, which is 3.5.3 as of this > writing. I have to make a big update to try the last stable 3.4.9. But with my actual 3.3.8 the problem still exists.

1) Have you tried on a testing version yet? Please try on 3.6.6. This information will let us know if it perhaps might have been fixed lately. 2) What was the last version this worked and the first version this has broken? This information will allow us to look for kernel changes in that period and if we can't see it you could perform a git bisect if possible. http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel_git-bisect

This PC never had 2.6.x kernel, because it was installed directly with 3.x. But, as on another PC that dongle worked several years ago on a 2.6.x, I just tried a sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:2.6.32-r29 on the new PC, and the dongle worked fine. I can't test all 2.6.x versions to see which one is good or not.
(In reply to comment #8)> > All stable version 3.x was tried. I don't have testing version. If you don't try one, we won't know if it has been fixed already. > That's what I hope when a new version appears in stable portage... That approach doesn't allow us to determine whether it has been fixed, thus we can not report this upstream that way as it might or might not be a bug anymore. > I can't test all 2.6.x versions to see which one is good or not. Using a minimal config for just the dongle as well as ccache and correct compile settings, you test a few kernels in no time. You can also try to skip a few kernels to speed up the progress; for instance, if you have ten kernels to test (1 to 10) then you could try 1, 4, 8, 10. Let's say you discover 4 works and 8 is broken (so don't have to do 10), then you could try 6 to see whether the broken kernel is 5 or 6 or whether the broken kernel is 7 or 8. This example takes about 4 tries to know a set of two versions and an extra try to know exactly with which version it breaks. Since you have less versions to try, you probably can achieve a good educated guess in 3 or 4 tries. So, worth giving a shot, unless you really don't need to ever use that hardware... The amount of commits the kernel involve is huge, and without at least knowing a small range of them it's impossible to pinpoint the offending code. Even if you just take the commits that happened for the particular file, it still requires an idea which date range to look for...
> All stable version 3.x was tried. I don't have testing version. 3.x isn't a version and 3.4.9 is 7 months old; please try the latest version again and attach the dmesg output (don't use grep this time) and your .config.

You're joking I suppose ! I posted this bug one year ago, and you tell me it's too old. My english is not good enough to discuss more about all of that. I tried to give all what I could, and you seem not to want to try to correct the problem. Close the bug, I'm the only person in the world who have it, so don't care...
(In reply to comment #11) > You're joking I suppose ! No, I'm not. > I posted this bug one year ago, and you tell me it's too old. Yes, not responding for several months makes it very old; multiple fixes are committed every single day, it is pointless to look into it if it could have been fixed in the last months, that's why you need to try more recent kernels. > I tried to give all what I could You still haven't tried a recent kernel, which doesn't take long. > and you seem not to want to try to correct the problem. You seem not to want to try a more recent kernel, which has the potential to fix the problem and limit the scope; as well as provide more information as requested. If you don't collaborate, we can't correct the problem. > Close the bug, I'm the only person in the world who have it, so don't care... The bug is already closed, it has been waiting for your response to be reopened and progress; but if you rather want to continue to experience your problem rather than make your problem clear, go ahead and be stubborn about it... Sorry, we can't fix problems for things are no longer in the Portage tree.

Is this still a problem with =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.11? If so, please file a bug upstream at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/ and leave us a link to the upstream bug. You can speed up the process by doing a http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel_git-bisect between the last working version and first broken version to find the offending commit. From there on we can look further into the issue. If not, feel free to let we know so we can mark this bug as fixed.

Can you try unmasking gentoo-sources-3.11.1 and tell us if it still occurs? See: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=3#doc_chap2
As in you bug onhttps://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60901 That bug need test and close. Since kernel 4.2-rc1 work fix added to 4.0-rc1 with HCI_QUIRK_BROKEN_LOCAL_COMMANDS for you (and my) dongle "1310:0001 Roper Class 1 Bluetooth Dongle". You can test and complete close that bug.
doesn't work in lastest 4.0.5 for me, as told in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60901
