Sorry for digging up such an old thread, but I am afflicted by the same problem and just recently found time to investigate.

The symptoms that I am observing on a T60p: * Boot into single-user mode and kill everything (including udev) * echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/bluetooth_enable (bluetooth light is now off and it disappears from the USB bus) * modprobe -r thinkpad_acpi * modprobe thinkpad_acpi (bluetooth light back on and device reappears on USB bus) Additionally, note that I have "options rfkill default_state=0" set in modprobe.conf.d, if that is relevant. With some more investigation and judicious use of dump_stack(), I have put together the following call sequences that occur during modprobe of thinkpad_acpi: First, bluetooth is initialized and blocked: thinkpad_acpi: bluetooth_init: bluetooth is supported, status 0x01 thinkpad_acpi: tpacpi_rfk_hook_set_block: request to change radio state to blocked Pid: 1444, comm: modprobe Not tainted 2.6.31.6 #24 Call Trace: [<f8681d79>] tpacpi_rfk_hook_set_block+0x39/0x5c [thinkpad_acpi] [<f81543f4>] rfkill_set_block+0x6b/0xad [rfkill] [<f81544cc>] __rfkill_switch_all+0x2d/0x50 [rfkill] [<f8154fd4>] rfkill_register+0x183/0x1c7 [rfkill] [<f868f8f5>] tpacpi_new_rfkill+0xc4/0xfe [thinkpad_acpi] [<f868fc9d>] bluetooth_init+0x10e/0x13c [thinkpad_acpi] [<f8690245>] thinkpad_acpi_module_init+0x57a/0x909 [thinkpad_acpi] [<f868fccb>] ? thinkpad_acpi_module_init+0x0/0x909 [thinkpad_acpi] [<c1001139>] do_one_initcall+0x4c/0x131 [<c1052c4d>] sys_init_module+0xa7/0x1b7 [<c1002af0>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x22 thinkpad_acpi: bluetooth_set_status: will attempt to disable bluetooth Then, the radio is unblocked by rfkill_switch_all which is queued by rfkill_schedule_evsw_rfkillall as part of input_register_device: Pid: 1444, comm: modprobe Not tainted 2.6.31.6 #24 Call Trace: [<c127f90d>] ? printk+0xf/0x12 [<f81552ef>] rfkill_schedule_evsw_rfkillall+0x1c/0x33 [rfkill] [<f815533c>] rfkill_start+0x36/0x46 [rfkill] [<c11f599a>] input_register_handle+0x6a/0x74 [<f81554af>] rfkill_connect+0x99/0xc6 [rfkill] [<c11f5502>] input_attach_handler+0x33/0x66 [<c11f6288>] input_register_device+0x140/0x186 [<f8690505>] thinkpad_acpi_module_init+0x83a/0x909 [thinkpad_acpi] [<f868fccb>] ? thinkpad_acpi_module_init+0x0/0x909 [thinkpad_acpi] [<c1001139>] do_one_initcall+0x4c/0x131 [<c1052c4d>] sys_init_module+0xa7/0x1b7 [<c1002af0>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x22 thinkpad_acpi: tpacpi_rfk_hook_set_block: request to change radio state to unblocked Pid: 7, comm: events/0 Not tainted 2.6.31.6 #24 Call Trace: [<f8681d79>] tpacpi_rfk_hook_set_block+0x39/0x5c [thinkpad_acpi] [<f81543f4>] rfkill_set_block+0x6b/0xad [rfkill] [<f81544cc>] __rfkill_switch_all+0x2d/0x50 [rfkill] [<f8154560>] rfkill_switch_all+0x2f/0x3d [rfkill] [<f8155153>] rfkill_op_handler+0x8b/0x152 [rfkill] [<c103c749>] worker_thread+0x16f/0x200 [<f81550c8>] ? rfkill_op_handler+0x0/0x152 [rfkill] [<c1040161>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x33 [<c103c5da>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0x200 [<c103fe7e>] kthread+0x6e/0x73 [<c103fe10>] ? kthread+0x0/0x73 [<c100364f>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 thinkpad_acpi: bluetooth_set_status: will attempt to enable bluetooth So, is there something that I am missing? Should some userspace daemon be setting the bluetooth to blocked on boot if I prefer it that way? Or is this just a bug (and would you prefer that I bugzilla it)?
