I'm running ubuntu Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS on my Lenovo Thinkpad x230,
$ > cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
$ uname -a
Linux ***** 3.13.1-
Couple of days I discovered that I can't turn on bluetooth in the bluetooth config menu, the "turn on" option is grayed out.
I have searched the web for a solution, but haven't found one.. I checked that bt is enabled in BIOS (no option to disable it in bios, so I must assume that it's enabled)
Some relevant outputs -
no BT listed in rfkill list:
$ rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
I can't see bluetooth loaded in lsusb
$ lsusb | grep -i blu
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 045e:0745 Microsoft Corp. Nano Transceiver v1.0 for Bluetooth
In dmesg as well:
$ dmesg|grep -i bluetooth

hciconfig gives empty output:

in lsmod I can see a bluetooth module loaded:
$ lsmod | grep -i blue
bluetooth 411140 10 bnep,rfcomm
Am I missing something?

Please help in overcoming the BT issue.
Thanks for the help guys :)
P.S.
I have tried to use different kernels in order to check if BT works with them,
currently running with: 3.18.3-
I have tried with: 3.13.11.11 as well, but the BT was still grayed out.
