This would be nice to have in the kernel. Maybe it just needs to be added to the toshiba_acpi kernel module. This works for me on my Toshiba Qosmio G30-163 laptop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.25-0.105.rc5.fc9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. insmod toshiba_acpi and the toshbt module. Actual Results: Bluetooth usb devices was powered on and attached. The regular bluetooth framework took over and it works. Expected Results: Additional info:

I'm not enthusiastic about this as-is. It duplicates a lot of the toshiba_acpi code and provides a custom interface in /proc. I'd prefer to merge this into toshiba_acpi and add an rfkill interface to make it easier to deal with.
Triaged
The code for activating the bluetooth radio is now merged in 2.6.28-rc1. The relevant commit is: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=c41a40c58b623f97dd2e23aa3baab2cedb47d99f but there are probably a couple more you want to pickup anyway. Can we apply a patch to the Fedora kernel until we rebase on 2.6.28? Otherwise we will continue to have broken support for these laptops for quite some time..
Commited to rawhide CVS
Hi Matthew, thanks a lot for your quick reaction. I just checked the patch in cvs and I think it's possible you pulled an incomplete patch as it seems missing the Kconfig added flags. To be sure, you probably want to use the plain version of the diff: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=c41a40c58b623f97dd2e23aa3baab2cedb47d99f Sorry for the hassle
The Kconfig dependencies are always selected in our kernel, so it's more cosmetic than anything else.
OK. I hope it will appear in a F10 kernel soon...
Shipped in F10 and is also in F11 rawhide.
Yeah. I just need to note bluetooth works as expected only with a full boot. After a suspend/resume cycle it is not reactivated. I'd need to check if 2.6.29 fixes the issue...
