Subject: Bluetooth and "IRQ 19 and nobody cared" on a HP 8510w with Debian 2.6.24 or 2.6.26

I've been getting these "irq 19: nobody cared (try booting with "irqpoll"
option)" messages on my HP 8510w. Recently I googled it, which lead me to the
following discussion from another fellow with the same problem on the LKML

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/24/357

In this discussion it was mentioned that pressing the radio kill switch
stopped this message from appearing, which implied it might be iwl4965.

I had already tried blacklisting the iwl4965 module (adding it to
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist) with no success. But it got me thinking radio, so
I tried blacklisting hci_usb and there were no more "irq 19: nobody cared"
messages. Loading hci_usb subsequently resulted in a message within 10min.

I tried this another three times to verify it (reboot, wait 30min with no
messages, load hci_usb, and a message appears within 10min). Hopefully David
will be able to verify these results also apply to his 8510w as well.

I've attached the output of "lsusb -v". Is there any other information that
would help, or something I can do (kernel log messages are as was given by
David in the original LKML list, but I could attach another if you wish)?

Cheers! -Tyson

start using the btusb driver instead of hci_usb. And even while you
think this might be caused by Bluetooth, you should report it to the USB
guys since the USB host controller is responsible for that interrupt.
