Dell Vostro 1400 problems

Question

Hello,
I've recently bought new laptop Vostro 1400 and I have some problems.
First one is bluetooth. I've installed bluez-utils, as it said here, but my message.log show's nothing, just that bluetooth demon started.
lsmod
bluetooth 50148 3 rfcomm,l2cap,hci_usb
hcitool dev shows only
Devices:
That's nothing... How to configure this stuff ?
Thank you

I have loaded this driver and added the newid=0x14e4 0x1713 but still
no luck. Still can not ping the Zenworks server or do anything. The
Network lights stay lit when it tries to obtain an IP address for eth0.
I read on another site that you need to update the initrd with the new
tg3.ko driver. I will try this later tonight and see what happens.
