It is unchecked and =>shows as stopped. Can someone tell me if this is so then why does it =>show its loading on boot? Thanks. As root say: chkconfig --list bluetooth If it says on then permanently shut it off by saying chkconfig bluetooth off To see if it's running now say service bluetooth status If the hcid and sdpd are not stopped then just say service bluetooth stop -- Time flies like the wind.
