I finally got my bluetooth working. This model of TOSHIBA has a BIOS from Phoenix, so "toshset" cannot be used. The wireless bluetooth adapters are turned off at each power-on self test (POST). In windows turning on the bluetooth adapter is done using hotkeys Fn + F8, as long as hotkeys are not supported in Linux (for models featuring Phoenix BIOS) there is no way to turn it on. So you end up using "omnibook", a package which provides Linux kernel support for TOSHIBA and HP laptops. The package and related documents can be found at http://omnibook.sourceforge.net/doku.php.There is also a supported models list available. A step-by-step installation guide is available at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=316358. The interesting point is that if you are lucky enough you might even have other features enabled such as hotkeys, lcd brightness adjustment, cpu temprature, etc.
