That LED indicates whether the Bluetooth radio is enabled (powered up, it is a USB device). Consider it like a light socket. You don't have a working bulb in there, but you can still switch the socket on & off. You see the results of your switching the moment you screw in a working lightbulb (load your Bluetooth driver). It would in fact be a layering violation to care about whether or not a Bluetooth driver is loaded when switching the radio on & off. If you want your Bluetooth to start out off and remain off, you should set you= r BIOS up accordingly.
