Ubuntu 12.04.01 - i can't turn on my bluetooth. I am on a dell vostro 1500 with wireless 355 bluetooth module (bluetooth 2.0 + EDR). When i turn the bluetooth on from the indicator and then click on bluetooth settings, it says the bluetooth is disabled. Bluetooth is enabled in BIOS settings. Is there a possible fix for this?
rfkill list output is as follows:
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
lsusb output for this device:

uname -r
3.2.0-37-generic
I have tried:
sudo su
modprobe btusb
lsmod | grep btusb
to confirm module is loaded, then
sh -c "echo 0x0a5c 0x4500 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/btusb/new_id"
Nothing happens at all.

You may have a similar case as How do I enable Bluetooth on my Lenovo IdeaPad Z580? – gertvdijk Jan 26 '13 at 19:07sudo sh -c "echo 0x0a5c 0x4500 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/btusb/new_id"? This device seems really new, and not well supported at the moment, but as reported here, it's just another device ID and does not require any change to the driver. – gertvdijk Feb 03 '13 at 11:35
