I've been fighting this for 2 days now. From what I gather the hardware is supported. I'm using Hardy 8.04. I keep it updated every day.
Here is the steps I've tried/what my stuff looks like.
I cannot get bluetooth to work. I've tried hitting Fn + F5 trying to toggle. I've tried hitting it a bunch of times incase its setup to toggle all the state of on/off for bluetooth and wireless. All this does is toggle wireless network on and off.
/proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth doesn't exist. I cannot echo enable to it.
root@joshm-laptop:~# echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
bash: /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth: No such file or directory
root@joshm-laptop:~# ls -al /proc/acpi/ibm/

It appears to me the correct modules are loaded:

Bluetooth IS enabled in the BIOS.
I am the administrator at a school with a laptop program so I have lots of spare machines to test with. I tossed my HDD in another laptop that bluetooth was working in windows in and it doesn't work on my linux drive. If I toss a windows HDD in my laptop bluetooth works. So it isn't dead hardware.
hcitool and lsusb do not show a bluetooth device.

I'm stuck, I'de really like to get this working so I can move pictures off my phone without the damn cord. I just moved to this laptop from a T60 model 1951-C2U and bluetooth worked fine. I only upgraded for a better graphics card. Bluetooth is the last thing to get working and I'll be happy as hell.
I'm beginning to think it is a bug with either Hardy, or the thinkpad_acpi module. I've ran into a few posts around the net from people who seem to have the same issues but no resolution. I'de like to get all the information in one big post like this one.
