[Bluez-users] Can't seem to find my bluetooth

[Daniel Malmgren]

Hi.
I'm trying to get Bluetooth working on my Znote 6015WD laptop and I 
don't really know where to start. I'm running Fedora Rawhide (x86_64). 
I don't even know what bt chip the computer has (or how to find out). 
Hcitool just says I haven't got any bluetooth device. Neither lspci nor 
lsusb shows anything that seems relevant. From lshal all I get is the 
following:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_bluetooth'
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_bluetooth'  
(string)
  linux.subsystem = 'platform'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 1  (0x1)  (int)
  info.product = 'Platform Device (bluetooth)'  (string)
  platform.id = 'bluetooth'  (string)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer'  (string)
  info.bus = 'platform'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path_device = '/sys/devices/platform/bluetooth'  
(string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/bluetooth'  (string)

...which doesn't say me much. There is a led on the front of the 
computer which is blue, which according to the manual means that 
bluetooth is inactive, but I've got no idea of how to activate it. 
Where do I start?

Installed versions:
bluez-libs 3.7
bluez-utils 3.7
bluez-hcidump 1.32
bluez-gnome 0.6

these are generic information that are always present. You need to find
the hardware switch to enable your Bluetooth module and then it will
show up in lsusb.
