Bluetake USB Bluetooth Adapter not recognized

Hello, I'm using Ubuntu Hardy Alpha 6 w/ the latest updates as of April 15th, 2008 on a Dell Optiplex 745. I tried to plug in a Bluetake USB Adapter (BT009SX), and expected the Bluetooth icon to show up in the notification area, but it didn't. I launched Bluetooth Preferences, and expected the Services window to populate, but it didn't. I then tried to troubleshoot...

 I went to the command line and typed, 'sudo lsusb | grep "Blue"' and it returned, "Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)". I then typed sudo hciconfig from the command line and received the following:

hci0: Type: USB
 BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0
 DOWN
 RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0
 TX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 commands:0 errors:0

I read the man page for hciconfig, and then typed "sudo hciconfig hci0 up" to init the device. I still didn't have any feedback or blinking blue lights from the bluetooth usb adapter. After typing "sudo hciconfig hci0 piscan" the lights on the bluetooth device began to blink. I still can't use Bluetooth Preferences to look for available services, and the notification area isn't showing the bluetooth icon when plugged in. This radio option is checked on the Bluetooth preferences under General.

I did install blueproximity (Version 1.24-0ubuntu1) and it was able t scan for devices. This is after completing all the steps above. It listed my cell phone, and various other bluetooth devices in the area.

In the end, I can't get this adapter to work properly as it does on other computers running ubuntu.
