I have a Broadcom BT dongle with roughly the same issues. Years ago I
created a /etc/rc.d/rc.local file containing:
hciconfig hci0 up
For recent Fedoras note that you now have to explicitly enable rc.local
for it to run:
systemctl enable rc-local
I also find the dongle sometimes doesn't power on after returning from
hibernation. Haven't found a fix for that other than keeping an extra
mouse so I can enable it manually.
Thanks for the suggestion Patrick, I'll try it this evening.
