on my alienware m14x r2 laptop with ubuntu 12.04.1 x64, the bluetooth interface is not working. WLAN works fine.

I have a dualboot install with ubuntu & win 7 on this laptop. In win 7, the bluetooth interface works fine, because its all activated in BIOS.

I have the killer wireless-n 1202 a/g/n interface with integrated bluetooth 4.0 in this laptop.

Here is some code :

sudo rfkill list

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
