    Switching bluetooth modes HID to HCI

    Hello,
    Does anybody know how to switch from HID mode to HCI mode?
    This is the output of my lsusb command:
    Code:
    Bus 002 Device 008: ID 046d:c70a Logitech, Inc. MX5000 Cordless Desktop
    Bus 002 Device 007: ID 046d:c70e Logitech, Inc. MX1000 Bluetooth Laser Mouse
    Bus 002 Device 006: ID 046d:0b02 Logitech, Inc. BT Mini-Receiver (HID proxy mode)
    Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04b4:120f Cypress Semiconductor Corp. 
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Any ideas? Oh, and BTW when I do a hcitool dev it does not recognize it.

    Thanks

    GENIUS!! Thanks a lot. Sure enough it worked. You have to:
    1. Remove dongle.
    2. Press red dot.
    3. Insert dongle while the red dot is pressed and hold it down for a few seconds.
