Mine doesn't seem to have bluetooth... well, i think so after
reviewing the pciconf output ... 
But there doesn't happen anything when pressing Fn-F5, so perhaps
it's 'preconfigured' for bluetooth or so ...

That was a good hint... just tried it and it works fine for me,
except for the fact, that my system does panic when adding
if_ipw_load=YES to loader.conf while ACPI is acivated.
Strange thing... but without ACPI it's working.


With kind regards,
