Bluetooth + Ubuntu + Laptop IBM R51

Hi,

I'll begin to use the bluetooth connection possibilities on my laptop.

I'm using Ubuntu Hoary 5.04 on an IBM R51 Laptopt, with integrated
bluetooth.

Ubuntu seems to recognize it.

With lsmod | grep bluetooth I get:

bluetooth              46340  4 rfcomm,l2cap

I think this mean bluetooth has been detected by the kernel/system and
activated. Isn't it? But the bluetooh on the laptop does not go up.

I've installed gnome-bluetooth and bluez utils.

When i execute Bluetooth Manager I get an error : "Could not find
Bluetooth devices in the system".

There is no answer after run hciconfig. I think ithis command has to
return any bluetooth information if it is activated, isn't it?

The laptop has a key for activating wifi and bluetooth under windows,
but it is a windows key, it doesn't work under linux. But wifi is
activated.

Any help?

Thanks in advance,

Pere Pie
