I have recently added an Atheros AR9002wb-1ng WiFi combo card to my HP Pavilion Dv6325us laptop. I had to modify my BIOS to get the WiFi to work, but the Bluetooth isn't working. It's not even detected.

  • There is nothing that I can see that says bluetooth is either visible or hardware-enabled. Check if there is a harware-switch to enable, or if there is some bios value available. On some laptops there is a FN+ to enable bluetooth. – fossfreedom Aug 29 '11 at 18:42
  • Here's the thing, when I install the module into a friends notebook, the blue-tooth is detected. It seems that it is only undetectable in my notebook. – TheCodeGeek Oct 12 '11 at 19:18
  • This question should instead be filed as a bug report, and as such is off-topic, thanks! How to report a bug. Regards, – Ringtail Mar 21 '12 at 16:50
  • This question appears to be abandoned and unanswered, could you perhaps add more detail to your question? If this question no longer applies then you can either delete it or answer it yourself if you've solved the problem. Thanks! – fossfreedom Mar 21 '12 at 21:03

I have not found a solution and I am going to assume that this is a hardware problem.
