Question Toshiba Laptop Won't Run Bluetooth with Ubuntu

I am running Ubuntu 8.1 on a Toshiba Satellite P105-S9337 with built-in Bluetooth hardware. I cannot get the Bluetooth hardware to work with my Microsoft Bluetooth mouse.

I have installed the tosh software with no luck.

Does anyone have an idea as to what to try. I have several kernel mods suggested, but that is well beyond my current skill level.

Has anyone made the Bluetooth system run under Ubuntu?

NAME
l2ping - Send L2CAP echo request and receive answer SYNOPSIS
l2ping [-i <hciX>] [-s size] [-c count] [-t timeout] [-d delay] [-f] [-r] [-v] bd_addr DESCRIPTION
L2ping sends a L2CAP echo request to the Bluetooth MAC address bd_addr given in dotted hex notation. OPTIONS
-i <hciX> The command is applied to device hciX , which must be the name of an installed Bluetooth device (X = 0, 1, 2, ...) If not speci- fied, the command will be sent to the first available Bluetooth device. -s size The size of the data packets to be sent. -c count Send count number of packets then exit. -t timeout Wait timeout seconds for the response. -d delay Wait delay seconds between pings. -f Kind of flood ping. Use with care! It reduces the delay time between packets to 0. -r Reverse ping (gnip?). Send echo response instead of echo request. -v Verify response payload is identical to request payload. It is not required for remote stacks to return the request payload, but most stacks do (including Bluez). bd_addr The Bluetooth MAC address to be pinged in dotted hex notation like 01:02:03:ab:cd:ef or 01:EF:cd:aB:02:03 AUTHORS
