Bluetooth dongel pass to VM fails

[Beatle]

Hello everyone,

I am desperately trying to get a bluetooth dongel to work on a VM.

To the prehistory:
I have an ALIX board running Debian 5 Lenny. There is a bluetooth dongel connected via USB. Everything runs perfectly. I can't update the system because the software on it needs Debian 5.

Now I have created an image from the CF card and mounted it in Proxmox in a new VM. Everything runs perfectly. Except for the Bluetooth connection.
I passed the USB port 1:1 to the VM.
The Bluetooth dongel is also shown in the VM -Debian 5-.

# lsusb

# hcitool scan

Inquiry failed: Connection timed out

I am at my wit's end. I've spent countless hours googling and trying all sorts of solutions. If I restore the image to a CF card and push it into the ALIX board, it works fine. What surprises me is that the Bluetooth dongel is recognized and displayed in the VM. But I always get timeouts.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance for your efforts.

so did this work before using debian 5?

maybe you can check the dmesg output from your VM, there could be some hints there.

Hi,
thanks for your answer.

The output from dmesg:

usb 1-6: usbfs: usb_submit_urb returned -90
usb 1-6: reset full-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd
Bluetooth: hci0: unexpected event for opcode 0x0c25
Bluetooth: hci0: CSR: Unbranded CSR clone detected; adding workarounds and force-suspending once...
usb 1-6: reset full-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd

This is just a small sample of the output of dmesg.
The output is from the PVE.
The individual messages are present several times between other messages that have nothing to do with Bluetooth.

Unfortunately, I do not understand what this means.

Hi,

the Debian 5 system shows following output:

hci_cmd_task: hci0 command tx timeout

The Problem sems to be in PVE.
