I have an HP Compaq nc6400. AFAIK, it has built-in Bluetooth
capability. How do I find out what the device is,

That's not listing anything at all. It should list the root hub(s).
Even if it's internal, it's still USB?
The one on my Thinkpad T42p appears as a USB device. That one is
inactive by default; I have to press Fn-F5 to activate it. When I do
that, a Bluetooth LED near the NumLock LED lights up, and the device is
visible on lsusb. (Yes, it works properly, but I don't have much use
for it as I only have 1 Bluetooth-capable device.)
Most USB [Bluetooth] chips work with hci_usb driver.hci_usb 16668 0

Try hcitool scaneben@kong:~$ hcitool scan

Sounds like it's inactive if it's there. Check your laptop's manual for
info on Bluetooth. Since Bluetooth uses power, a lot of the time,
laptops have switches of some sort to turn it on/off. That means you
don't waste valuable battery minutes running Bluetooth when you don't
need it. HTH anyway,
