Bluetooth not working at all

Hi to everyone!!!

I'm trying to fix a problem regarding the functionality of the bluetooth service on my laptop, a Sony Vaio VGN-NS21Z.
The dongle I use is the following, detected by the kernel:

Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0a5c:2035 Broadcom Corp. BCM2035 Bluetooth

and the cell phone is a Nokia E51.
Ok, when I put my USB dongle in, I launch the following command, which gives me this answer:

[root@andy ~]# hcitool dev
Devices:
        hci0    00:00:00:00:00:00

If I run this other commmand, I get the following error:

[root@andy ~]# bluetoothd -d -n

sometimes I get also the "Unable to get dbus" message.
Supposing it was a permission problem, I put my user in the lp group but nothing changed.
This is the most significant part of my rc.conf:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng iptables network netfs crond hal wicd @openntpd sshd mysqld clamav spamd)

Dbus and bluetooth are currently running because I've started them manually.
My kernel is a kernel-ice one...
How can I proceed to fix this thing?
