[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#484733: bluez-utils: bluetooth needs to be stopped and restarted before my USB device will function properly

Package: bluez-utils
Version: 3.30-3
Severity: normal

I have a USB bluetooth adaptor; lsusb gives:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0a5c:2121 Broadcom Corp. BCM2210 Bluetooth

When I plug it into a running system, the device (hciX) is not created;
I merely get this in syslog:

Jun  5 19:40:00 lizzie kernel: hub 5-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB
device on port 1
Jun  5 19:40:00 lizzie kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using
uhci_hcd and address 2
Jun  5 19:40:00 lizzie kernel: usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1
choice
Jun  5 19:40:00 lizzie kernel: Bluetooth: Core ver 2.11
Jun  5 19:40:00 lizzie kernel: NET: Registered protocol family 31
Jun  5 19:40:00 lizzie kernel: Bluetooth: HCI device and connection
manager initialized

Jun  5 19:40:00 lizzie kernel: Bluetooth: HCI USB driver ver 2.9
Jun  5 19:40:00 lizzie kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver
hci_usb

Restarting bluetooth with /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart causes the
device to be created, but the device still doesn't accept an incoming
ppp connection request.  Following some reports I saw online, I
discovered that doing something like 'pkill /usr/bin/dund' and then
manually restarting the dund process (with the correct options) fixes
the problem.  This can be automated by '/etc/init.d/bluetooth stop &&
/etc/init.d/bluetooth start', but simply doing '/etc/init.d/bluetooth
restart' does not work, as above.
