sicne the hci0 device is there, you don't miss any modules, but you can
see from the above output that it's DOWN .. that means the bluetoothd
daemon is not running (it was called hcid before I think).


Depending on the version of bluez you have installed, it either starts
form init.d scripts, or the recent versions start automatically from
udev rules.
