[lugip] bluetooth mouse

[Daniel Sanders Zuckerman]

jon-

i think you were at that hw sig meeting i was at when i was trying to
figure out the bluetooth situation on my dell.  the bluetooth system
said it had come up, but nothing was going on.  the light on the
dashboard wasn't even lighting up.  eventually, we opened up the little
port on the side, and discovered that there was no bluetooth card in
there.  i know it's silly, but could that be the problem?
