i have bluez* installed.

let me know if you need anymore information.

i have tried building as modules & into the kernel. neither worked, so i believe the problem is either i did not load the correct module for bluetooth or my RF switch by default has the dongle deactivated. so i press "Fn F5" which should enable it but i get no response. this should be the software equiv. of the RF switch, enabling and disabling wireless devices. like the function keys from F5 and up have not been installed? is there a way to check that? ( Fn F4 works to suspend to ram, the dim and raise the LCD lighting works aswell as the mini lightbulb for work at night works... just not the Fn F5 combo ....) yes this has worked on previous kernel's. the problem is i have not needed bluetooth really until recently so i hadn't paid it much attention. i have 2 kernel's currently each modules saved in a different location as to not interfere. neither seems to be working (bluetooth, that is).

can anyone identify what adapter i have or tell me how too? and if you have the same would you mind sending my your kernel version and relevant .config file

hmm

to add to insult:

hciconfig -a: gives me no output

dmesg
Bluetooth: Core ver 2.11
NET: Registered protocol family 31
Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
Bluetooth: L2CAP ver 2.8
Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized
Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized
Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized
Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.8

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices | grep -e^[TPD] | grep -e Cls=e0 -B1 -A1: gives me no output

is there a radio frequancy you must enable in the .config ?

as i suspected ...

logged in as root via: su -l

grep status /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
status: disabled

now i simply:
echo enabled > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth

and bam everything works perfectly...

the problem must be with the /proc/acpi/event file.

infact when i try:
sudo /etc/init.d/acpid restart
* Starting acpid ...
acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy [ !! ]

i can't even read the file ? as root , sudo , su -l , nothing works ...

is there a way to replace this 'event' file?

( yes i tried to re-emerge acpid to no avail )

here is the answer to my problem.

rc-update add acpid boot
rc-update add hald boot

you have to do this because, at least the rest of the internet suggests, by default acpid loads after hald. this is the source of the problem. by adding them both to the boot level instead of the default level prevents this. it should be noted i am no expert, so i have no idea of the implications of doing this. thus far for me. i have had zero problems. =]

then i had to edit /etc/acpi/events/default

i commented out the two lines of the default configuration ( doing so means you have to program each Fn+F* combo ) and added a few of my own
-----------------------------
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001005
action=/usr/sbin/bluetooth-toggle

#event=.*
#action=/etc/acpi/default.sh %e
-----------------------------

when the Fn + F5 combo is pressed the action= calls a script i wrote in the /usr/sbin directory

here is the 'bluetooth-toggle' script
#!/bin/bash
cat /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth | awk '{ print $2 }' | while read line;
do
if [ $line == "enabled" ]; then
echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
else
echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
fi
break
done

next i made it executable
sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/bluetooth-toggle

lastely i reload acpid
sudo /etc/init.d/acpid restart

conclusion: this will enable the Fn + F5 hotkey for JUST bluetooth. also if for some reason this stops working you can simply run: 'sudo bluetooth-toggle' to enable and disable bluetooth until you can find the solution for your problem.

another way to aviod the extra scripts is to modify the default.sh file
here is a great tutorial: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Lenovo_Thinkpad_T61

also any script, at least for me, that does not specify the HKEY will result in the other Fn + F* combonations to stop working. notice mine uses event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001005. if it were to use something like event=button/sleep.* (which is the newer way). all my Fn+F* combos would stop working.

Hope this helps!
