Installed ubuntu 9.04 on a mini 10v that shipped with XP - netwrking etc works fine but the internal broadcom bluetooth module is not recognized :
- not listed under lsusb or lspci
- no device found under hcitool scan

Zdr you should file a bug if you are seeing this issue. Include lspci output as well as "lsusb" output (and try to get details on your card). The Mini 10v hardware for Ubuntu & Windows is the same. Also check your installation.
I have been doing testing of bluetooth devices on a Mini 10 with Ubuntu 9.10 alphas. Try that and see if it works. There is a lot of improvement going on around bluetooth in 9.10
Can you help with this problem?
Provide an answer of your own, or ask zdr for more information if necessary.
