I sneaked some time on a friends recently installed Linux.  I found a 
bluetoothinit script, which ran ok, starting rfcomm and some other 
things.  This time the hcitool to work!

   oscar@slimmy:/tmp/bbw$ hcitool dev
   Devices:
	hci0	00:0C:41:E2:32:8D

Unfortunately, the perl code still didn't work:

   oscar@slimmy:/tmp/bbw$ perl b1.pl
   Device not available
   Monitoring RSSI for device 00:0C:41:E2:32:8D ()\nDevice not available

Any other suggestions on how to debug?
