Apologies for the flood of comments but I am trying to consolidate the information in order to assist in achieving a rapid resolution. There are many related bugs reported on launchpad - most address the more pressing issue of the wifi which has been solved and the issue of bluetooth seems to get lost.
This bug report probably has the most history and potential solutions https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1049466 The developer who appears to have the most background with the problem - going as far back as 2012 is https://launchpad.net/~anthonywong -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1513705 Title: Bluetooth not functional Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The kernel loads firmware file rt3290.bin which enables wifi but not bluetooth.
