Yes; it appears that the module is not being recognized as one that is 
supported by any kernel modules.

On my Toshiba U300, I had to specify ectype=14 when I load the omnibook module 
or I don't find any BT device at all.  I don't think that's your problem, 
though.

my lsusb output is the same as yours:
Bus 007 Device 002: ID 0930:0508 Toshiba Corp. Integrated Bluetooth HCI

Now the 'btusb' module gets loaded, and that is what seems to bring up the HCI 
device for me.  Perhaps that's what is missing on your system?

BTW: lshw doesn't show anything for me.
