Title:
  Toshiba bluetooth support still not fixed

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I report this as a new bug for Jaunty, even though the Toshiba bluetooth issue has been widely discussed here for Intrepid (8.10) and earlier
  This is because as a result of the discussions, the Intrepid bug was marked as "Fix Released".
  Since I have not been able to use bluetooth on my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop since Intrepid, I understood from the previous bug reports, that in Jaunty the issue would be fixed.
  Unfortunately, after upgrading to Jaunty beta, I find the bug continues to exist.
  The bluetooth adaptor is not found/activated and "toshset -bluetooth on" is answered with "required kernel toshiba support not enabled". The Fn-F8 doesn't turn the bluetooth on either.
  I fail to understand why such an important issue was not fixed in the new kernel used in Jaunty. Bluetooth mouse, keyboard, headsets etc - all useless.....

  I would also like to add, since I did not see that mentioned in the Intrepid discussions, that when in my dual boot system I first boot into Windows (Vista) and then make a restart (soft boot) into Ubuntu, the bluetooth does work.  Windows seems to activate bluetooth and leave it open for Ubuntu (??).
  The problem only occurs when making a cold boot into Ubuntu (which is of course the most frequently used). Maybe this helps.

  Hope a fix will come up soon, especially for the constantly growing number of Ubuntu users who are not linux geeks and frown deeply when told to recompile their kernel and dive deep into the guts of their system...
