The modem installed properly on 14.04, it worked on installation of ubuntu. It's a Broadcom modem, and it's tied into the Broadcom bluetooth card. But the bluetooth does not function on 14.04. Ubuntu says it's disabled what can I do to fix this? It doesn't say that it's not there, it just says disabled even after I turn it on.
rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: asuswlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
UPDATE: I removed asus-bluetooth's soft block by running the following commands:
$sudo modprobe -b asus-wmi
$rfkill unblock all
But it's still disabled in settings and I can't use it and it returns to being disabled after a short time
UPDATE:
$hcitool scan
Device is not available: No such device

Am I to assume that since it doesn't list bluetooth anywhere in that list that Ubuntu just doesn't realize that I have a bluetooth device? It would explain why I've tried virtually everything to enable it but it won't work. Please help.
UPDATE:
Since upgrading to 14.10 bluetooth works as long as I rfkill unblock all
UPDATE:
and now since I removed ubuntu and reinstalled from scratch 14.10 it works fine without a hitch
rfkill unblock all
in terminal (press <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<T> to open)
