Comment 5 for bug 381913

I am very interested in having this solved too. I use an IBM T30 with Jaunty. Here is the output of lshal|grep blue:
eduard@portatiledu:~$ lshal|grep blue
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_thinkpad_acpi_rfkill_tpacpi_bluetooth_sw_bluetooth'
  info.product = 'tpacpi_bluetooth_sw bluetooth Killswitch' (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_thinkpad_acpi_rfkill_tpacpi_bluetooth_sw_bluetooth' (string)
  killswitch.name = 'tpacpi_bluetooth_sw' (string)
  killswitch.type = 'bluetooth' (string)
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_4bf_310_noserial_if0_bluetooth_hci_0'
  bluetooth_hci.address = 0 (0x0) (uint64)
  bluetooth_hci.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_4bf_310_noserial_if0' (string)
  info.capabilities = {'bluetooth_hci'} (string list)
  info.category = 'bluetooth_hci' (string)
  info.subsystem = 'bluetooth' (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_4bf_310_noserial_if0_bluetooth_hci_0' (string)
  linux.subsystem = 'bluetooth' (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.2/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/bluetooth/hci0' (string)
I do not want Bluetooth on as a general rule, and I am fed up of pushing the button every time I use the laptop.

By the way, it's a shame that the best Ubuntu for the T30 is 7.10, where everything works. After that, no software modem, no desktop effects, and Bluetooth comes on undesireably.
