Hi,
I have a Sony Vaio VPCF22M1E/B, but I could not make it's bluetooth work. It does not even recognize that it has a bluetooth card in it. Could you help me please ?

More info please

Your post would be more likely to get a correct answer if you provide the following:

Hardware Configuration - include processor type and speed, RAM available, HDD size, is the Bluetooth card built in or is it a USB dongle? Any other hardware such as PCMCIA slots, etc.

Software Configuration - which Linux distribution are you using? Which Bluetooth stack are you using? Is this a dual-boot machine? Which other OSs are you using?

Bluetooth can be tricky depending on the make and model of your card/dongle and the software you're trying to connect with.

I agree with Larrym82...we need details before we can attempt to help.

However, I've used Vaios for years, and one annoying (?) thing they usually do, is have the WiFi power switch also turn on/off the bluetooth. There's no way to separate them. Is that switch turned on? If it's not...you won't detect the bluetooth device.
