[Bug 180659] No Bluetooth Device Detected in hcitool dev

[Sassan]

Public bug reported:

My TOSHIBA Satellite A100 has a built-in Bluetooth device (so I suppose
this must be a PCI hw), and the wireless adapter has an external switch
to turn on/off. The problem is that no device is found in "hcitool dev".
I dont find anything related to Bluetooth in lspci. It sometimes works
fine when I restart the system for ten times, but other times I can't
get it to work, no matter how many times I restart the bluetooth
services or turn it off and on. There seem to be no problem in Windows
XP. I also get no result from hciconfig, however these following lines
are present in dmesg when the system starts up

[   21.100000] Failure registering capabilities with primary security module.
