check /proc/bus/usb/devices, but I assume that the module is switched
off by default. So you need to activate it, because otherwise it will
not show up on the USB bus and thus it can't picked up by the hci_usb
driver.

Most Dell notebooks should have a Fn-F2 switch or an extra BIOS option
for this. Otherwise the only option is to look for a Dell ACPI module to
modify the Bluetooth switch.

Regards

Marcel
