What's the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi hardware in that laptop and what drivers are driving it?

Subsequent to the original bug report, later drivers get WiFi up and running fine. Bluetooth still needs to be disabled-reenabled using Fn+F2 hotkeys.
Same the other way round: when first powered on and booted into Ubuntu, and then reboot in Windows 7. The experience is worse. Bluetooth has to be disabled and re-enabled multiple times before it behaves. Till then it keeps kicking out already attached and working Bluetooth devices.
