Re: Bug 10173 / Bluetooth on Toshiba & Compal laptops

["Robert M. Albrecht" <linux@romal.de>]

Hi,

the module is loaded:

[root@tycho ~]# lsmod | grep kill
rfkill                 11288  2 toshiba_acpi
[root@tycho ~]#

The wlan-devices works ok, it get's disabled and enabled via rfkill. But 
the bluetooth-device does not get reeanbled after switching it off.
