Bug Description
The bluetooth LED does not come on when running Ubuntu on this Dell Latitude D830. It goes on under Windows XP. It flashes briefly when coming from suspend running Ubuntu.
I have seen this with 32-bit 7.10 and 8.04 beta, and 64 bit 8.04 beta with all updates. According to logs and the lighting up on Windows XP it seems like bluetooth actually works, and it is only the LED that does not come on under Ubuntu.
(Incidentally, I have the same issue on my D820 although not sure if same bluetooth hardware, tried with dapper to gutsy in 32 and 64 bit modes. I have used bluetooth fine on that computer.)
