My laptop Thinkpad Edge e320 got out of standby with bluetooth and wireless disabled. WiFi got enabled normally in unity but bluetooth says that "bluetooth is disabled by hardware switch".

There is no hw switch on my laptop. I tried:

# echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/bluetooth_enable 
bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted

but as you see no results.

Fn-F9, which is radio control, does not work. Any help?
