Subject: [Bluez-users] Can only start Bluetooth once on my Sony Picturebook

A little query which does not really matter,
but which leaves me slightly puzzled.

I'm running linux-2.6.6-rc2 under Fedora-1
on my Sony C1VFK Picturebook.
This has in-built Bluetooth.
To start this running, I say "spicctrl -l1"
(when the blue Bluetooth light on my laptop comes on)
followed by "service bluetooth restart".

All this works perfectly.
But if I give the command "spicctrl -l0"
to stop the inbuilt Bluetooth
I am never able to restart it,
except by re-booting.

I couldn't see from a very brief (and ignorant) look at the source
why the sonypi_ioctl() call couldn't be reversed.

Perhaps there is some command I could give
to restart Bluetooth, short of re-booting?

[IIRC, I could start and stop Bluetooth like this
in older kernels.]
