here is my output from sudo lsusb on my X201s:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0a5c:217f Broadcom Corp. Bluetooth Controller
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 17ef:1005 Lenovo
I was looking for something like the Broadcom Bluetooth COntroller, but it
looks like the kernel does not see your bluetooth controller, if it is in
fact there, and I am now at a loss as how to go forward. In my expereance
with Lenovo (and IBM) Thinkpads is that the bluetooth controller is always
USB, and USB is pretty much Universal, as in the name, even if it was not
detected properly it should have still shown an Unknown Device, if I am not
mistaken, so it looks like you do not in fact have bluetooth installed or
it is disabled in some obscure place. In any case, I am not sure how to
proceed and will hope another subscriber to this mailing list can offer
more help then I.
