[v2] 'emu' prints Connection refused about gimx HOT 6 CLOSED

Thank you for your feedback. I have tested the method with a dongle that has a
broadcom chip and I had the same issue.
You have to get (as said in the requirements) a bluetooth dongle with a chip from one
of these manufacturers: Ericsson, Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR), Texas Instruments
(TI), Zeevo or ST Microelectronics (ST).
There are cheap CSR dongles on ebay. Just enter keywords 'CSR' and 'dongle' for your
search, and select 'Include title and description'.
I bought some of these and I'll test them as soon as I receive them.

I reject this defect as this dongle doesn't fill the requirements.

Sorry for misreading.

lsusb gave me "Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)" so I assumed
this was a CSR chip, I didn't see "Broadcom Corporation" in the output. Maybe my chip
is incorrectly detected.

Anyway, I ordered a dongle with CSR chip ($0.73, how expensive !) and will enjoy
giving feedback or patches if needed.

Do you have more than one dongle plugged on your PC?

It's strange that lsusb and bdaddr give conflicting information.

Where did you bought your dongle?

I haven't tested yet, but cheap CSR dongles from ebay will probably not work.

I'm trying to get rid off this annoying dongle compatibility, and I probably will
propose a method to get it work with any dongle.
