Comment 54 for bug 499445

Hi!

I had a very similar problem described above with a Dell Inspirion Mini 10 using the same broadcom chipset for wireless LAN and bluetooth. Everything went perfectly with both bluetooth and WLAN as long as I had the original Version of Dells delivered Ubuntu 8.04 LPIA. I updated to 9.04 x86 and bluetooth was no more - the same with 9.10 and 10.04.
According to your posts, the bug should be fixed in lucid - unfortunately on this machine it's not. The version of bcmwl-kernel-source used on this machine is called 5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu3. WLANs working perfectly, Bluetooth doesn't even show up in lspci, lsusb or hciconfig.
I remember a tool on the original Dell-Ubuntu called the "aircraft-manager" - or something like that - where someone could stop or start wireless services (BT or WLAN seperately). If the bluetooth-stuff is really completely done in software this could be a clue to a sollution.
Unfortunately I don't remember which kernel modules the original Ubuntu uses, today it's "wl" on lucid.
