Do you have the required kernel modules installed? "Protocol not 
available" sounds like
a kernel message. Modules can be found under networking in the kernel 
configuration.

You don't need to load module-bluez5-device directly. 
module-bluetooth-discover is the only
module you need to load. module-bluetooth-discover loads then 
module-bluez4-discover or
module-bluez5-discover depending on your bluez version and that module 
automatically loads
module-bluez4-device or module-bluez5-device as soon as a bluetooth 
device turns up.
