AceLan Kao,

Thank You! Wow, thank you!

I followed your steps as such:

1. This was taken care of already, by upgrading to 11.04 stable...I did a uname-r, and it showed the 2.6.38.8 kernel.
2. Followed your instructions on these steps to the letter.
3. Ran dkms status and saw the info listed, just in reverse order (the ar3011 line was above the dell line)

Still couldn't do anything with bluetooth, then I rebooted, and there it was, enabled and all. Fantastic! For a true test, I turned it off (scary, given the history), and was able to succesfully turn it back on.

Again, thank you a million times. Tons of hours and days and phone time with Dell even did not resolve this issue for me.

However, this is still a "bug" right? I mean, I was running Ubuntu "out of the box" vanilla, and were it not for your steps, this would have not worked for me. I hope this somehow makes its way into the next update for everyone else who has this problem.
