The one on my Thinkpad T42p appears as a USB device. That one is inactive by default; I have to press Fn-F5 to activate it. When I do that, a Bluetooth LED near the NumLock LED lights up, and the device is visible on lsusb. (Yes, it works properly, but I don't have much use for it as I only have 1 Bluetooth-capable device.) >> Most USB [Bluetooth] chips work with hci_usb driver. > hci_usb 16668 0 > bluetooth 50404 1 hci_usb > ehci_hcd 30988 0 > uhci_hcd 23052 0 >> Try hcitool scan > eben@kong:~$ hcitool scan > Device is not available: No such device Sounds like it's inactive if it's there. Check your laptop's manual for info on Bluetooth. Since Bluetooth uses power, a lot of the time, laptops have switches of some sort to turn it on/off. That means you don't waste valuable battery minutes running Bluetooth when you don't need it.
