[Bug 284982] Re: Bluetooth does not work at Acer Aspire 7520

[John Doe]

Same problem here as well.  I have a Winbook V Series laptop.  I
upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid, and bluetooth now fails to work
properly.  Here are some hopefully helpful logs:

Installing these bluetooth programs, above the default installed programs for Intrepid, did not help:
