That did the trick! Though since I installed the drivers the bootup time of my ubuntu slowed down which I think is a problem experienced by some others, too. I still did not find a solution though. But anyways, this is the first step-by-step tutorial that works for me. Oh yes thank you :D ! That did the trick!

If so, have you tried commenting out (placing a # at the start of the line) line 365 of /opt/wicd/networking.py? The line reads: misc.Run("ifconfig " + self.wireless_interface + " down") and I change it to: # misc.Run("ifconfig " + self.wireless_interface + " down") Hi Christian, are you using WICD version 1.4.2?

I do see the wireless networks here, I just can't connect to my own network which is secured with WPA-PSK. He tries to get an IP from it but doesn't succeed. I already entered the encryption key in the settings of the network :/ do you know a solution to this? Hi, I did everything as you told.

If so, delete it. If I delete the MBR-100, set it to pair (red-green light alternating) and then enter the commands I get this: sudo modprobe snd-bt-sco sudo btsco -v 00:16:20:FF:7B:E6 btsco v0.42 Device is 1:0 Voice setting: 0x0060 [At this point the dialogue box appears and lets me enter the passcode (0000), then:] Can't connect RFCOMM channel: Connection refused BUT - it has paired ok, even though it says "Connection refused". So now I can set amarok to bluetooth, and when I play it does actually work. If you don't ever see the dialogue box, and can't ever pair, then I suspect something has broken with bluetooth since Hardy for your particular dongle. What is the output of lsusb when your dongle is plugged in? Cheers, Jonathan Ingo, if you right-click on the bluetooth icon in the systray and hit Preferences, is the MBR-100 listed?

I can pair it with my motorazr.

When I try to pair manually, I also can enter the pin, but the connection dies after few seconds. when I try to pair it with the gnome-applet, it doesn’t ask for the pin, it just says that it cannot connect.

It seems that my internal BT doesn’t support the MBR-100, will see if an external dongle will work….

thx.

Until Intrepid I used an MSI bluetooth dongle, but with the changes in Intrepid it stopped working (it still works in Hardy). In the end I bought a new dongle. I get the same output you did when I tried to pair with the stick the first time, but it still let me enter the passcode. Hi Ingo,
