I can on my UL30A (BIOS v211) system (QX130V fitting). I have a
BCM2046B1 bluetooth chipset. I'm not perfectly sure but I think all
UL30A have this chip.

When I run this command I get to see a line containing the word
'bluetooth' (there are other bluetooth kernel modules whose names start
with 'blue'), indicating that the hardware driver is loaded:
  lsmod|grep ^blue
This is the result:
bluetooth              58621  9 rfcomm,sco,bnep,l2cap,btusb

asus-acpi indicates I have a bluetooth device:
# cat /sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/bluetooth
1

And the bluetooth modules tell me about the chipset:
# cat /sys/class/bluetooth/hci0/name
BCM2046B1 Bluetooth Device

I have the bluetooth user space utilities installed:

'sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth status' reports:
 * bluetooth is running

And the following command nicely lists my bluetooth host controller
interface including its MAC address:
  hcitool dev

So I have it, and I bet you have it, too.
