yes, thats a known issue, but bluetooth probably wont be fixable for intrepid. USB should work though.

Anyway, please attach your lshal output while your bluetooth device is up.

Also if you have any dialup script or network configs that work for your bluetooth device I'd appreciate if you attach that information.

Thanks.
