[ltp] Thinkpad T60 2007-CTO bluetooth not working

[Josh]

Hopefully this is the correct place to post this. I've been fighting 
this for 2 days now. From what I gather the hardware is supported. I'm 
using Ubuntu Hardy 8.04. I keep it updated every day.

Here is the steps I've tried/what my stuff looks like.

I've tried hitting Fn + F5 trying to toggle. I've tried hitting it a 
bunch of times incase its setup to toggle all the state of on/off for 
bluetooth and wireless. All this does is toggle wireless network on and 
off.

The hardware switch on the front is set to the on position.

/proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth doesn't exist. I cannot echo enable to it.

root@joshm-laptop:~# echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
bash: /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth: No such file or directory
root@joshm-laptop:~# ls -al /proc/acpi/ibm/

It appears to me the correct modules are loaded but:

Bluetooth IS enabled in the BIOS.

I am the administrator at a school with a laptop program so I have lots 
of spare machines to test with. I tossed my HDD in another laptop that 
bluetooth was working in windows in and it doesn't work on my linux 
drive. If I toss a windows HDD in my laptop bluetooth works. So it isn't 
dead hardware.


hcitool and lsusb do not show a bluetooth device.

If more information is needed please let me know.

I'm stuck, I'de really like to get this working so I can move pictures 
off my phone without the damn cord. I just moved to this laptop from a 
T60 model 1951-C2U and bluetooth worked fine. I only upgraded for a 
better graphics card. Bluetooth is the last thing to get working and 
I'll be happy as hell.

I'm beginning to think it is a bug with either Hardy, or the 
thinkpad_acpi module. I've ran into a few posts around the net from 
people who seem to have the same issues but no resolution.

If I'm wrong and the 2007-CTO model is not supported/doesn't work I may 
be able to setup SSH access for a developer to one if they would like to 
work on it remotely. I've got extras sitting around so I could set it 
aside for awhile with the  distro of choice of the developer.

Thanks in advance.
