broken bluetooth after upgrade to 8.10

[Smith, Mike]

8.04 blue tooth worked just fine for me and I about half think that it worked fine in 7.10. I only use it to upload programs to a NXT brick. So there may be other issues that were not affecting me till the last release.

Bluetooth is one of those things that I don't believe will ever work.
I have been using bluetooth since FC7 and it was broke, then they fixed it,
It was fix once in FC8 then when they update then it got broken, FC9 it 
was broken, then it got fixed.
In FC10 it's plain BROKEN.
No one knows weather it's the kernel guys or the Bluez Brother that is 
going to finally fix it.
