No bluetooth on Ideapad Z570

Hello guys,

as far as I read bluetooth on this laptop should work right away, but that's not the case here. Wireless is working fine, even the HW keys and switches to toggle it on/off work. I cannot see any BT device in hciconfig, hcitool dev comes back empty. rfkill list gives me this

0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

lsmod | grep blue

bluetooth 150151 7 bnep
rfkill 15601 4 bluetooth,cfg80211,ideapad_laptop
crc16 1359 2 bluetooth,ext4

dmesg | grep -i blue

[ 15.177981] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.16
[ 15.178003] NET: Registered protocol family 31
[ 15.178005] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
[ 15.178008] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
[ 15.178010] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized
[ 15.178016] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized
[ 15.204411] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3

To get my wireless working I had to blacklist "acer_wmi" in modprobe.conf. I saw some output of rfkill which listed hci0 device which I can't see on this machine. Has anybody been dealing with such issue before?

Thanks
