Comment 26 for bug 812866

I have to confirm what markovuc said (for the X121e laptop): Bluetooth icon in Ubuntu 11.10 deactivated after firmware update. Status then "hardblocked" at all times (despite few links being possible to my smartphone). Now, with a reset to defaults in the bios, bluetooth works again in "full" operation mode (bluetooth icon not greyed-out, all options available)!

On my X121e, with fn+f4, both wlan and bluetooth (at the same time) can now be hardblocked/unblocked again. This was not possible until now.

(Strange behavior in fact)

I guess this is more likely to be a bug in the firmware than in Ubuntu? Please comment!
