Disable a single BT adapter

Question

I have a laptop with 2 BT adapters, one internal (Broadcom BCM2045B; WIFI+BT adapter) and one external (CSR USB BT Dongle). I want to use only the latter because it supports Bluetooth 4.0, unlike the first one. On Ubuntu 14.04, how can I disable the first one permanently and make the system use the latter (I guess by setting the it to hci0 and the internal to not hci0)? I'll appreciate the help.

Check hciconfig -a and look at manufacturer that will be listed — Jeremy31, Feb 18 '16 at 11:18
