"I'm not sure if you installed the dkms package correctly." Quite possible, open to correction. BTW, for the heck of it, I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 to 11.04, to see if anything changed. So far, no good. The only thing that works is if I go to the Dell Recovery Tool and restore the system to the "factory shipped state." On first boot (only), bluetooth works as expected. As soon as a screensaver kicks in (or in any way a session ends), however, it is turned off, and the issue becomes what is in my first post.
I hope this is not extraneous information.

Do you want me to create it? Also, when you say "make the module," are you referring to the dkms module in Post #1? According to Synaptic Package Manager, the dkms module is installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/714862 Title: Atheros AR3002 cannot be turned up/is not recognized. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
