Hi Everybody!

My desktop hack work fine and smootly running El Capitan. but i can't make the bluetooth work.

Ok. I'm trying to use a cheap dongle. But, keep in mind I live in Brazil and buy a IOGear dongle will probably cost more than my cheap bluetooth keyboard. So, I'm trying to use this before a new one is shipped from china or USA.

My Mobo is a gigabyte ga-h97-d3h

I have one like this

It blinks when connected, the system report detects and shows info about it:

in a quick look it appears to work, but actually the bluetooth don't find any device. No Cellphone, keyboard, mouse etc.

I have been trying many solutions presented in the tonymac foruns, but until now none solved the problem.

Any idea? Or the only thing to do is to buy a new one and wait to the shipping.
