Hi there!

I installed wheezy (CD-1_20120618-04:55) on an ASUS EeeTop
ET2011EGT-B073E:

  <http://www.asus.com/Allinone_PCs/20_inch/ET2011EGT/>

According to the specifications on the ASUS website (and other websites
as well) the machine does not have any Bluetooth dongle, still the
Bluetooth icon appears in the GNOME3 panel. Installing bluez-firmware
does not change anything and `hcitool scan` reports nothing).

However, the Wi-Fi card is an Atheros AR9285 (168c:002b), which supports
Bluetooth coexistence, but nothing is shown in lspci/lsusb:

  <http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k/btcoex>

And strangely enough, the ASUS download page provides Bluetooth drivers
for the Windows 7, but not XP:

  Foxconn Bluetooth Driver V6.2.1.900
  Azurewave Bluetooth Driver V6.2.1.800 (WHQL)

I am sorry, I am currently at DebConf12, so I could not provide more
information, not either a proper reportbug, so more details when I will
be back.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
