I'm pretty sure we're talking about the wireless devices, not dongles.
My bluetooth dongle (actuall built into my laptop) is recognized 
perfectly well and works so far (transferring files to/from my cell phone).

Let's concentrate on a single one for now: bluetooth headphones (though 
I'm sure there are lots more devices that can be improved). Another 
closely related device is a bluetooth headset (headphone & microphone - 
the BT device you would use with your cell phone)
It's easy to connect the headphones to FC6, but nothing happens after 
that. I'd like to be able to actually hear music through them.
