Hi all,
i have a X60 with Ubuntu 8.04:

I am not sure, if this helps you, but first: i don't have a
bluetooth hardware switch, which means i turn it on and off via
Fn+F5, which adds or removed the bluetooth device from/to the usb bus.
$ dmesg
[ 3243.316435] usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and
address 3
[ 3243.491129] usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 3243.566481] Bluetooth: HCI USB driver ver 2.9
[ 3243.568402] usbcore: registered new interface driver hci_usb

Second, i use the madwifi-ng drivers with the norfkill option for my
wireless. This disables the hardware switch (got it? =)).

Greetings
Rainer
