Please don't get me started about the documentation of bluez :-)

Thanks Sven. I compiled and installed bluez-firmware (1.2-2), but it didn't change anything. My adapter never seems to go into "discoverable" mode.
I also noticed that my /sys/class/firmware directory is empty (except for a "timeout" file).
Is there a command that I can give my adapter that tells it to go into "discoverable" mode?
