Hello!

I have a nc8000, but hopefully this information will apply to you
aswell! ;)

I have the bluetooth subsystem, procotols and the USB-support compiled
as modules on my setup. Apparantly, don't ask me why, the bluetooth chip
is found in the usb tree.

$  lsusb -v | grep -B 7 -m 1 Bluetooth
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 049f:0086 Compaq Computer Corp. 
Device Descriptor:
  bLength                18
  bDescriptorType         1
  bcdUSB               1.10
  bDeviceClass          224 Wireless
  bDeviceSubClass         1 Radio Frequency
  bDeviceProtocol         1 Bluetooth

And an lsmod shows that the hci_usb is used, so it's probably needed.
$ lsmod | grep bluetooth
bluetooth              44068  7 rfcomm,l2cap,hci_usb

That was about all I did and it automagically worked. Maybe should say
that I use the 2.6 kernel. Have tried it with multisync using my T610,
works like a charm. Maybe should say that you need some bluez-*
packages and maybe something more. But that you probably knew. ;)
