I'm trying to use the built-in bluetooth device of my Lenovo Thinkpad E320.
It seems to be hard blocked, but i can't find any possibility to unblock it.
rfkill list
returns:
0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked:yes
cat /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
returns:
status: disabled
commands: enable, disable
I tried to enable it by:
- Pressing Fn+F9 (Radio controll)
echo enable | tee /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
rfkill unblock bluetooth
- Trough the BIOS. But it's not mentioned at all
None of the actions influenced the ouputs above.

after 5-10 bios resets to re-enable bluetooth during the last two years I decided to investigate this issue again. looks like there is a bluetooth switch emulation in the thinkpad_acpi module. turn this on via module options et voila -> working bluetooth!
reboot && block/unblock bluetooth as needed:
