Bug#771563: gnome-control-center: bluetooth devices not listed

[Victor Balboa]

Hi,

I was able to "fix" this by installing package for firmware of Qualcom Atheros bluetooth (firmware-atheros_0.43_all.deb)
Nevetherless, althought now there are devices listed, I'm unable to make a bluetooth mouse to work (Genius Micro Traveler 900 BT).
It states it is connected, yet it does not work. (It does work in Windows).

Hope this helps.
