Description of problem: Bluetooth is not working on a msi wind u200 netbook. It can't be enabled(Fn + F9), whereas other controls work fine such as volume, brightness, wireless.
I see from the specs that the Bluetooth module is optional on those models. Are you sure there's Bluetooth builtin? In any case, it's up to the kernel to present either: - the Bluetooth adapter - an rfkill interface that would allow the adapter to be toggled on As it seems to do neither, reassigning.
What does lsusb look like on the device?

Some msi wind models don't have bluetooth, this is quite true. However as far as I know all u200 have it.
I stand corrected. You were right. It doesn't have a bluetooth module.
