Hi,

Thanks for the interest Gustavo. I'm running Debian wheezy, there is no
device found on loading the 3.2, or 3.7 kernel.


On the 3.2 kernel, rfkill gives:

0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
1: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no

The hardware switch gives hard-lock on and off for both the hp-wifi
& hp-bluetooth. But neither device work.

Using a backported driver for rt2x00 gets the rt3290 device working fine.

hciconfig gives no ouput.

The directory /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices does not exist. I'm not sure
what else might be useful?


Here is the relevant output from lspci -v (note there is no kernel
driver being loaded for the bluetooth device).
