Bug Description
Binary package hint: bluez
I have a Dell Inspiron Mini 1011, with integrated bluetooth interface (as I assume: that's what the specs say, and there is also switch to enable it in the BIOS, which is on). I've seen many people reporting bluetooth functioning out of the box with karmic on Dell Inspiron Mini's (various models).
The bluetooth device is not known to the system in any way, however: lshw, lsusb don't show anything pertaining to bluetooth. The rfkill switch is on (its presence is another indicator that the device is somewhere).
$ rfkill list
0: compal-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: compal-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
I will be happy to provide additional information if needed. I am running fully up-to-date karmic with 2.6.31-14 kernel (i386, not lpia).

Try going through a cycle of "rfkill block all" followed by "rfkill unblock all". See if the device shows up after that. If it doesn't, can you confirm that it is or isn't working in Windows so we can evaluate if it's a hardware or software related issue?
