[Bug 874634] [NEW] [Eee PC 1001PXD] hcitool shows a bluetooth device, bluetoothd is running, but bluetooth is unusable

[Jeff Lane]

Public bug reported:

On this EeePC 1001PXD, title says it all... :/

Doing cert testing of Oneiric on the system.  Bluetoothd is running,
hcitool shows a device, but I can't actually do anything with it.  If I
click on the bluetooth applet icon, I get an abbreviated menu and the
only options are Turn Bluetooth Off and Preferences.  It says Bluetooth
is on...

If I look at the preferences, it says "Bluetooth is disabled" and when I
try moving the slider from off to on, it just flips back to off.
