Bug Description

Certifying 12.04.2 on this machine. The STA driver is successfully installed via Jockey for the Broadcom wifi device, however, the BT device does not work. It fails to detect any BT devices while attempting to find devices to pair with.

The tools say they are scanning, but no BT devices appear at all, in an office full of active BT targets.
