OVERVIEW
Dell provides a Bluetooth module for laptops that works with Linux only
when the laptop is shipped with XP. Laptops shipped with Vista uses a
different firmware for th BT module, which isn't recognized by Linux.
DIAGNOSTICS
+ Even though you've remembered to enable Bluetooth support in the BIOS and/or
using the switch on your laptop,
'hcitool dev' gives no output, indicating no bluetooth adapters present.
'lsusb' only lists the ID, but provides no desciption:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 413c:8105 Dell Computer Corp.
+
+ RELATED BUGS
+
+ For Toshiba laptops, you may have to use omnibook (bug 180659) or
+ toshet (110202).
WORKAROUNDS
1. Boot into windows, then reboot (without turning off power) into
Linux.
2. Install Windows XP, and use Dell's DFU tool to install the XP-specific
firmware, which is availabe from:
http://support.us.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R117967&formatcnt=1&libid=0&fileid=156024
After the firmware update, the 'lsusb' command should list (among other
things):
% lsusb

Bus 001 Device 010: ID 413c:8103 Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 350 Bluetooth

Original bug regport:
I'm running a fresh Dapper on a Dell Inspiron 9400. There is Bluetooth
in the laptop, but the OS doesn't seem to see it, saying that no
bluetooth hardware is found.
