By the way, I just confirmed that disabling "asus-nb-wmi" allows me to
bring hci0 up and use the bluetooth module.

The command sequence is the following:
`sudo rmmod asus-nb-wmi`
`sudo rfkill unblock bluetooth` (this would usually completely disconnect the bluetooth module)
`sudo hciconfig hci0 up`

At this time, you can use Bluez normally. Of course, the side effect of
removing "asus-nb-wmi" is that I lose all the "function-keys"
(Brightness control, volume control, etc).  As soon as I bring this
module back up with modprobe, the bluetooth module is disconnected
again.

I got this information from this comment at ask-Ubuntu:
http://askubuntu.com/a/541546/25561

Does this mean that we should file a bug report for asus-nb-wmi module?
