What version of CentOS? I was recently doing some work on a CentOS system and 7.x has an
ancient kernel version.
He did indicate CentOS 6
FWIW, I just installed CentOS 6.10 in a VM. I then connected my USB Bluetooth dongle.
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
And it was detected and working as expected.
This was a DVD install and no updates were performed.
