Get a Dell Latitude D530 with an Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan].
Can confirm this. I have fought 1 entire day with this problem trying also solution on Ubuntu forums and launchpad bugs to not having to boot to Windows. I finally boot to Windows, activate the bluetooth and it works in Ubuntu then. I can confirm that sudo dellWirelessCtl --info give me the same information than the BIOS, but this information seems false because the bluetooth was really off. It seems that's a very specific problem of the wireless card driver. Note: This also have activated the bluetooth LED that was off before, only indication of the real status of bluetooth it seems. -- Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth card can't turned on in Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
