I have a puzzling problem on my amd64 system:

I get a message on boot up that my bluetooth firmware file did not load, but when I look at the file it seems to be present.


    jc@bopper:~$ dmesg | grep Bluetooth

I don't understand enough about bluetooth to interpret the Wiki, but when I do an hciconfig -a, I get the following, which seems to be correct.

    bopper /etc/portage # hciconfig -a

    bopper /etc/portag


This implies that bluetooth is working. I am chasing this because I am unable to transfer files from my phone to my gentoo system.
