Please [edit] your question and add output of `lspci -knn | grep Net -A2; lsusb` terminal command. — Pilot6, Aug 13 '16 at 16:02

It looks like this device is not in the kernel yet. Please add output of `usb-devices`. I need to identify the BT adapter. Then I will be able to fix it. I do not really need the full output. You can cut only devices 2 to 4. — Pilot6, Aug 13 '16 at 16:11
I suspect it is the Foxconn. `usb-devices | awk '/0459/' RS=` — Pilot6, Aug 13 '16 at 16:13
I do not need `lsusb` again. I need `usb-devices | awk '/0459/' RS=` — Pilot6, Aug 13 '16 at 16:15
It is weird. Do you type that manually? I see different numbers. Is it `0459:e112 Foxconn / Hon Hai` or `0489:e112 Foxconn / Hon Hai`? — Pilot6, Aug 13 '16 at 16:24
@Pilot6 please see output of `usb-devices | awk '/0459/' RS` in edit 3 — Prakash P, Aug 13 '16 at 16:27
It is weird too. Is it `0459`, or `0489`? It should be same in `lsusb` and `usb-devices`. — Pilot6, Aug 13 '16 at 16:27
@Pilot6 its long editing. Their can be typo. Please ignore it. — Prakash P, Aug 13 '16 at 16:28
Please do not type it manually. Copy text from terminal and paste it here. You can remove incorrect output of `lsusb`. It is important. — Pilot6, Aug 13 '16 at 16:30
And both your `usb-devices` have different IDs and serial numbers. Are they from one computer? — Pilot6, Aug 13 '16 at 16:32
@Pilot6 Sure. Thaks for ur assistance. What is be the probable fault. — Prakash P, Aug 13 '16 at 16:32
I will tell you after you post a reliable output. Now it looks like crap. — Pilot6, Aug 13 '16 at 16:33
