[...] It is just that easy… That’s really something different than a couple of fedora releases ago. [...]

Winston, I can’t give you a “how to use bluetooth with linux” manual, but I guess you can find some on the internet.

You first have to learn the process of connecting and pairing, you can easily try this with 2 bluetooth phones.
Once that works, you can configure your pc to use bluetooth. Starting with installing the bluetooth packages. Once you have these packages installed you can see which files and daemons are provided. These daemons needs the correct configuration, trial and error is one way to accomplish that job.

I hope this gets you started with your bluetooth USB dongle.

Hi,

I have bought a Bluetooth USB dongle and thinking of using it to connect to my cellular phone.

Could you please tell me how to start this whole process ? (pairing, connecting … etc)

regards,

winston

Actually this workaround is quite widespread but there is also another trick. Without it BT pairing did not work for me. In the /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf I had to uncomment next two paremeters:

device { .... auth enable; encrypt enable; }
