  Cannot change bluetooth device name

Bug description:
  First, the bluetooth device name is incorrect by default. It should be
  like "computer name + device number". In Ubuntu 11.10, if the computer
  name is "mypc", the BT device name will be "mypc0". However, in 12.04,
  it's always "ubuntu0".

  Second, the trick using hciconfig hci0 name "new_name" won't work for
  12.04 while it did work for 11.10. The name will restore to "ubuntu0"
  after reboot or restarting bluetooth service.

  Third, /etc/bluetooth/main.conf doesn't work. If I set the value for
  "name" field in the config file, it won't affect the device name.
