looks like you have to find the rfkill switch to enable the Bluetooth
USB dongle inside your computer.

Hi Marcel,

Thank you very much for answering.

Since i didn't know what rfkill was before your mail, i did some search.
Finally, it appears to me that rfkill is a kernel module (or is it
already part of the kernel ?) that control the special keyboard
button(s) related to wifi and/or bluetooth. It also handles the state
of the bluetooth / wifi device (enabled or disabled). Am i right ?

Unfortunately, i didn't find any clue about how to use rfkill (i guess
there should be a frontend program)... Could you please give me some
pointers or informations about that ?

I don't know if this may help : on my laptop (HP nx9420), there is a
single keyboard button for wifi and bluetooth. Wi-fi is working ok
(with ipw3945d).

Regards.

Re: [Bluez-users] hcitool info dropped feature details between versions 3.7 and 3.9?

 > I don't see what is missing.

More information:  The omission occurs only in a VMWare VM.  The command behaves 
properly when run natively.  The VMWare Workstation version is current, at 
5.5.4-44386, and VMWare Tools are installed.

I suppose this puts me in finger-pointing territory.

I believe Marcel was refering to the physical switch on your laptop.
While I can't vouch for other models, the button on my HP zd8000
serves to physically disconnect the built-in USB bluetooth device (ie
it is not software controlled). The fact that your WiFi works in this
state is a little confusing, as usually I get both or none when
pressing the button, but again, my model is different.

On this laptop, there is only one physical switch. By default, it
enables / disables wifi *and* bluetooth. However, bluetooth and wifi
can be enabled/disabled independently with a win32 HP software. So it
seems to be possible to have one without the other.

Marcel, were you refering to the physical switch ?
