Hi Mohammed,
thx for your reply.
it was previously working right ?
no, it was not working previously... neither with the stock kernel in ubuntu 12.04, nor with vanilla 3.5.0
could please point me to the
firmware or something you are using for BT, where i could
just try this out ?
I have never used bluetooth before, so i am not sure, where to look for the information, you ask me for.
How can i tell what firmware i am using?
here is some information, that may help.

the following modules related to ath/bluetooth are loaded

i do the following steps to check whether it works or not.
i enable bluetooth with the bluetooth-applet in unity.
i check with "rfkill list" whether everything is unblocked
i run bluetooth-wizard from gnome-bluetooth package and start scanning for devices. No devices ever show up.
is this informtion sufficient?
bye,
