bluetooth on acer aspire 1810TZ is not recognized

 

hi guys!

i have a question related to the acer aspire 1810TZ:
my bluetooth does not work, so i checked for the reason and discovered, that it is not even detected by linux. the bluetooth tools are installed and start, but say that no bt-devices have been found.
i attached a file with the output of

   sudo lshw

i looked on several threads on the internet, and appereantly btr does work on other laptops. i think it is related to my linux distro, since it worked with lubuntu 11.04, 32 bit. i currently have a linux mint 11, 64 bit with gnome installed. here is the output of uname -a :

   Linux spc 2.6.38-8-generic-ck #41~ppa1-Ubuntu SMP <date> x86_64
   x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

i think the problem might be related to the driver or a missing bt-module in the kernel, but have no idea where to continue with researching.
wifi works fine btw...

any help or push into the right direction is appreciated.

thanks guys!
