Bluetooth USB Belkin F8T012xx1

I bought Bluetooth USB Belkin F8T012xx1 to be used in my desktop (using Debian). At first I thought that this thing doesn’t work, but apparently it is misdetected as pegasus Ethernet driver. I thought the best solution was to remove pegasus.ko (in /lib/modules), but everythime I upgraded the kernel, the file will show up again. I can see this happening using dmesg

pegasus: v0.6.14 (2006/09/27), Pegasus/Pegasus II USB Ethernet driver

The best solution is to add this line:

blacklist pegasus

to

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

One thought on “Bluetooth USB Belkin F8T012xx1”

  1. Hello, did you get the Belkin dongle working?

    After I blacklist the pegasus driver, it’s not detected as proper hci0 device. When I do lsusb -v I can see that it’s incorrectly detected as F5D5050 ethernet device. I just can’t get it working properly.

    Did you do anything else of special mention?

    Do you use Debian packaged kernel or plain vanilla from Kernel.org?

    Cheers,
    Slinky
