In Windows Xp, I can turn on bluetooth by using the key Fn+F5, but in Linux, when I use this key I can't find the bluetooth interface. The hcitool command can't find the bluetooth device. The following is the information from the dmesg command:
Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
Bluetooth: L2CAP ver 2.9
Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized
Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized
Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized
Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.8
Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.2
in the /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth file, I see the following information:
#cat /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
status: disabled
commands: enable, disable
So How can I turn on bluetooth by using this key in my IBM T43 Laptop?
Cheers

You'll need ibm_acpi loaded (which you appearently have, since you got /proc/acpi/ibm/) and have to execute the following:
disable0xfff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
In order to get FN + F5 working
Besides that, you could also enable bluetooth with:
echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
Offline
Or
echo 1 > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
