man, you were right, sorry I didn't know about the lshal command, you
can find the output here

http://shackan.altervista.org/lshal.out

and as you can see, there's no bluetooth_hci capability, I knew the
name of the cap was "bluetooth_hci" because I read it in
/hal/hald/linux2/classdev.c from cvs, of course my version is much
older (`dpkg -p hal`says 0.4.7) and probably doesn't have  it, the
strange thing is that I can actually see that the hardware gets
correctly attacched to sysfs under /sys/class/bluetooth/hci0, I
realize I should compile the latest version but I fear this would
conflict with apt-get (damn package managers) Is there a workaround to
that ?

Thanks
