I have an Asus WL-500gP with Kamikaze 7.09. The bluetooth dongle is a D-Link DBT-122, the hub is an Edimax EU-HB4S, self powered.
If I plug the dongle directly into the device, i get

usb.c: registered new driver hci_usb
hub.c: new USB device 01:03.0-2, assigned address 2

and everything works fine. But if I plug it in through the hub, I get

The other usb port on the router is used by a flash on which OpenWRT is installed. If I plug in the flash through the hub, it works. Unfortunately, due to the bulkiness of the dongle and the usb cable connector of the hub, I cannot plug them both at the same time, thus having to use one port for the flash and the other for the hub. But how do I get the bluetooth dongle to work in this configuration? (I need the hub to connect other storage devices later on)

Some more (hopefully useful) output:

Hey, use the latest trunk version. bluez* bluetooth stack is updated and works. A working example is available here: http://bemused-lnx-mpdhack.origo.ethz.ch/.

Cheers

Would that be for the 2.4 kernel (I need the wifi)? Could you please upload the ipkg or binaries somewhere? I don't have the means of compiling it myself for the moment as I'm stuck on Windows until the end of June.
