    Thanks HaJo, that works if I use a dongle. HOWEVER,
    it does not work for my built-in bluetooth
    antenna....d'oh. I imagine it has to do with the
    /etc/modprobe.conf entries? When I do not have the
    dongle in and try to '/etc/init.d/bluetooth start' I
    get the following error:

    "Can't open RFCOMM control socket: Address family not
    supported by protocol"

    Going to "Bluetooth Manager" in Gnome says:

    "Could not Bluetooth Bluetooth devices on the system"

    Nothing shows up in /var/log/messages for either

    ??
