Blocking bluetooth

archie@t440s ~ % lsmod | grep thinkpad

rfkill                 15619  4 cfg80211,thinkpad_acpi,bluetooth
hwmon                   3057  2 coretemp,thinkpad_acpi

archie@t440s ~ % cat /etc/modprobe.d/think_acpi.conf 
options thinkpad_acpi bluetooth=disable

archie@t440s ~ % rfkill list
0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
4: hci0: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

Thing is that it used to work fine for me, apparently some update has broken it. i'm pretty sure my configs are ok.

Re: Blocking bluetooth

Setting up an /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf file:

blacklist btusb
blacklist bluetooth

... works for me
Adjust to your requirements, ie:

lsmod | grep bluetooth

Die, bluetooth, die!
