bluetooth in ubuntu started working !!!!

I am surprised at the accidental solution.
I run ubuntu and i was never able to get the bluetooth working. I went into windows (since i have a dual boot), and i saw that i didnt install the drivers, so i installed the drivers there and then i rebooted into ubuntu and viola , bluetooth works :) looks like the card got enabled when i installed the drivers on windows ! I am sure its not a firmware kind of thing that went into the drivers .. but who knows, this could be the only documented case where windows driver in windows installation, causes a device to working in ubuntu linux !!! Convergence isnt it.
