@Galch only the following adapters are whitelisted now:

You can try adding the USB id's of yours here: https://github.com/sandeepmistry/node-bluetooth-hci-socket/blob/master/lib/usb.js#L66, if it works please submit a pull request so it can be added to the whitelist.

I'm closing this for now, due to lack of discussion.

edit: I take it all back. Adding the ID works - PR coming :)
