btusb doesn't (and didn't) work with 1131:1001 and, according to google, 1131:1004. While HCI commands work, the rest fails: $ sudo strace -Ff -enetwork l2ping 00:17:E3:C0:C9:FF socket(PF_BLUETOOTH, SOCK_RAW, 0) = 3 bind(3, {sa_family=AF_BLUETOOTH, sa_data="\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"}, 10) = 0 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_BLUETOOTH, sa_data="\0\0\377\311\300\343\27\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"}, 10) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out) Can't connect: Connection timed out This bug is also reported at least at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/281949 and maybe also at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12045
Marking as regression because hci_usb worked but is removed from the kernel.
Works in 2.6.30-rc5
