Even though you didn't send me nice gadgets to play with :-(, a new
bluetooth module is committed to E. Please check if it's working for
you. It talks to bluetoothd, so you must have it running (systemctl
{enable,start} bluetoothd.service will do the job, or the equivalent
in your init).
Most of it was done by my colleague Lucas Jóia. kudos to him. IMO we
still need some tweaks to the UI, but I've just tested here and it's
working nice.
