BlueTooth in Linspire/Freespire on A31P

[ajkula66]

Not that I'm losing sleep over it, but although everything else seems to be working "out of the box" on my A31P (2653-R6U) in both Linspire 5.0 and Freespire, I don't see either/or recognizing the machine's BlueTooth capability. Any ideas?

As long as the ideas are fairly simple ones to test and implement, since I'm still a Linux newbie...

I'm not familiar with that model, but if it is supported by ibm-acpi then you can

Code: Select all

cat /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth

to get the current status and

Code: Select all

echo enable >  /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth

to switch it on.
