No.  Run 'hcitool dev' and see if there are any Bluetooth devices.

On my IBM T40 I have to do

  echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth

and then the little Bluetooth indicator lights up, and a new USB device
appears in the system.

I've created a script /etc/acpi/bluetooth.sh to enable/disable Bluetooth
when I press Fn-F6.  Here's the script:

  #!/bin/sh
  # Enable/disable builtin Bluetooth on IBM Thinkpads

  if grep -q enabled /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth; then
      echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
  else
      echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
  fi

Here's the corresponding /etc/acpi/events/ibm-bluetooth file:

  # /etc/acpi/events/ibmbluetooth
  # This is called when the user presses Fn-F6 button and calls
  # /etc/acpi/bluetooth.sh for further processing.

  event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001006
  action=/etc/acpi/bluetooth.sh

HTH,
