I boot a 2.6.24 kernel from Hardy, and then Bluetooth works fine for me.

I have these packages from Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) installed on my
Intrepid system:

    linux-image-2.6.24-21-generic (version 2.6.24-21.43)
    linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-21-generic (version 2.6.24.14-21.51)
    linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-21-generic (version 2.6.24-21.33)
    linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-21-generic (version 2.6.24-21.27)

With those packages, Linux 2.6.24-21 is available in the boot menu.

To be able to install those packages, I have these two lines added to
the end of /etc/apt/sources.list:

    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted

Then those packages can be selected for install in Synaptic.

Note that they won't upgrade to newer Hardy kernel packages
automatically.  Indeed, while writing this I just noticed there are
2.6.24-22 versions out, which I'm about to select and install. :-)
