No Bluetooth Dongle detected - internal laptop bluetooth ad

Hi all,
I don't really have any idea what's going on here.
Any help with diagnostics would be appreciated.
Or a link to some article to read.
Basically, when I launch Gimx-bluetooth, it says "No Bluetooth Dongle Detected", and the info for the BT adapter is blank.
I am running on Ubuntu 11.10.
The Laptop is HP Envy 17.
Not sure what the BT adapter is (Intel?).
I don't know how to verify that BT is working too.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
thanks!

Hi
I'm new to this also, but in my experience Gimx is pretty good in detecting BT, so most likely your BT adapter is not compatible

Hi
it seems like the internal adapter (Broadcom I think) is not detected by Ubuntu. (It's fine in Windows, so there is an adapter in there)

Try running
in terminal to see if it's detected.

Hi. Thanks btw.
Does lsusb detect internal devices too? Well I guess it depends on how the manufacturer has wired it.
[edit] I think it is wired up as a USB devce. I did like hciconfig on a working OS (Ubuntu 12.04) or something and it suggested it was a USB connection.
As a remark, Ubuntu 12.04 detects my BT adapter out of the box. Any idea if I can upgrade some isolated component of Ubuntu to detect it? How is the progress on the 12.04 latency issue anyway?

Hi
Does lsusb detect internal devices too?
Well.. at least mine does on a Dell XPS M1330
I did a quick search on Google for your BT card "0a5c:21e1 Broadcom Corp" and it might seem theres poor support for that interface in Ubuntu.
Try a search yourself and see if any kernel patches is out there
