DAEMONS=(syslog-ng crond dbus networkmanager avahi-daemon alsa bluetooth)

but the system doesn't detect the device.

$ hcitool dev

Re: Bluetooth HP Pavillion DM4 not working.

It would appear you have a Broadcom BCM20702A0.

Can you check the output of lsmod and see if btusb is loaded.  If not, try modprobing it, then remove the USB device and plug it back in.

Re: Bluetooth HP Pavillion DM4 not working.

The bluetooth device is integrated in the laptop how am I supposed to plug it out and in again? I added btusb to MODULES in /etc/rc.conf but it doesn't change anything... I am going to check if it works in ubuntu.

Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Re: Bluetooth HP Pavillion DM4 not working.

Bus 004 Device 010: ID 0a5c:21e1 Broadcom Corp.

Support was added for that device in version 3.4-rc3 of the kernel. So I hope you're either running something that recent or patched it yourself:

Although the official version of that patch in Linus' tree is slightly different.

Re: Bluetooth HP Pavillion DM4 not working.

Oh great, thanks! I'll wait for 3.4 to land in Arch... I don't use BT really I was just trying to get a PS3 controller to work via BT.
