ps3 controller not receiving data

[NEVER]

after pairing the bluetooth dongle with the ps3 controllerm, the corresponding event is created in /dev/input as js0. But when receiving data is observed through hexdump or jstest there is no incoming data. When the pairing is seen through hcidump, it shows following trace :-

Did you try different Bluetooth dongle ?

I have found problems with different manufacturers. While it says CSR in HCI dump, other manufacturers dongles also claim to be CSR. I have found genuine CSR work, and also ASC, Conwise did not work on PS3, but does on most other things !

I got similar results showing channels connected and configured, just no interrupt data when using Conwise.

Also I do not see the HID set report in your trace. (53) f4 42 03 00 00
