Bug Description

Hello. I have installed Ubuntu on a new laptop. Since then I have faced with some problems. One and the most important one is that the Bluetooth is not working at all. When I click to the menu at the top right, I cannot see Bluetooth. When I switched the bluetooth to on on Settings Panel, nothing happens.

I also tried to install blueman-applet. But when I click to Turn Bluetooth On button, that plugin disappers and nothing changes.

I just followed instructions gathering the information of system. If you need anything else please let me know. Thanks!

I always wondered about Ubuntu developers and now I am with you. I just wanna say that everything you have ever done is amazing. Thanks, thanks and thanks again.

Thanks for the bug report.

The file 'rfkill.txt' above is showing Bluetooth is still disabled in software so this sounds like a kernel module bug. It's likely specific to the 'IMC Networks' Bluetooth dongle.

summary: - Bluetooth is not working at all
+ Can't turn on Bluetooth (IMC Networks USB dongle)
