i have an aspire 5630 that was claimed to have bluetooth in it. it didn't work on windows out of the box and does not work in linux either, it could just be acer crapping out on us.

See if the device is there first - lspci, or possibly lsusb. If it's there, identify the appropriate kernel module and load it. Check dmesg for new info. If things look OK, start the init script. Check dmesg again.
