I am installing Arch Linux in a ASUS laptop, after installing a new wifi card: (it was sold to me as Atheros AR5B22 AR926X AR9462 Dual Band BT 4.0 Wireless WiFi MINI PCI-E Card W023). wifi works great, including 5GHz. However, I have not been able to install bluetooth.
I installed (with pacman) bluez bluez-utils blueman and other packages. I enabled bluetooth service. Here are some relevant outputs:
lspci

Please, don't tell me that they sold me a wifi card without BT. It has been sitting in a drawer for months and now is too late to return it!

Can you post your ouput for
lsusb

Thank you for your answer. My wifi/BT card is connected via PCI, so I thought lsusb was not relevant. Anyway, here is the output:

The computer is a Asus 1015E, in case this is relevant.

At times when the hcitool doesn't show any bluetooth devices, they are found under lsusb. But not in this case.
If you run:
rfkill list
do your wifi and bluetooth devices show up?

If "rfkill" is blocking your device it won't show up using the above command.
can you post an output for
hciconfig all
