Bug Description

Binary package hint: powertop

When attempting to stop Bluetooth with PowerTOP, the following message is printed:

ERROR: Module hci_usb does not exist in /proc/modules

It seems, via some quick Googling, that hci_usb has been replaced with btusb. However, even after I kill bluetooth-applet, I get the following message when I try to remove it manually:

ERROR: Module btusb is in use

Regardless, PowerTOP is making the wrong suggestion, and should probably be fixed.

I'm running a Thinkpad T40p; the Bluetooth adapter is:
