Apple built-in Bluetooth not appearing in /dev

List,
I am running a 2.6.5-rc3-ben0 kernel with a sid installation on a
1.25GHz 15" Aluminum PowerBook G4, which has built-in Bluetooth.
Although bluez-utils installed just fine and all of the messages on
startup indicate that hcid, rfcomm, l2cap, etc. are starting just fine,
I have no Bluetooth device available. At first I thought it was
because I did not have an appropriate device driver compiled as a
kernel module, but I think I have eliminated that possibility (see
kernel config excerpt below). When I run 'hcitool dev', nothing shows
up:
$ hcitool dev
Devices:
Likewise an attempt to list any /dev entries starting with hci fails:
$ ls /dev/hci*
ls: /dev/hci*: No such file or directory
My Bluetooth-specific kernel configuration options (transcription,
sorry for any errors) are:
#
# Bluetooth support
#
CONFIG_BT=m
CONFIG_BT_L2CAP=m
CONFIG_BT_SCO=m
CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM=m
CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM_TTY=y
CONFIG_BT_BNEP=m
CONFIG_BT_BNEP_MC_FILTER=y
CONFIG_BT_BNEP_PROT_FILTER=y
#
# Bluetooth device drivers
#
CONFIG_BT_HCIUSB=m
CONFIG_BT_HCIUSB_SCO=y
CONFIG_BT_HCIUART=m
CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_H4=y
CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_BCSP=y
# CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_BCSP_TXCRC is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIBCM203X is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIBFUSB is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIDTL1 is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIBT3C is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIBLUECARD is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIBTUART is not set
CONFIG_BT_HCIVHCI=m
# CONFIG_NETPOLL is not set
# CONFIG_NET_POLL_CONTROLLER is not set
All of the kernel modules seem to be loading just fine:
$ lsmod
Module Size Used by
...
hci_vhci 7008 0
hci_usb 13696 0
hci_uart 20048 0

rfcomm 43516 0
l2cap 23972 5 rfcomm
bluetooth 55996 8 hci_vhci,hci_usb,hci_uart,sco,rfcomm,l2cap
I would appreciate any insight greatly.
