Both Bluetooth and 11n share the same frequency band near 2.4 GHz so it is possible that they could conflict. If you had two laptops, and you ran just Bluetooth on one and just 11n on the other, would they both have problems? This would tell as whether it was something inside the kernel or if it was really wireless interference.
