"I'm not sure if you installed the dkms package correctly."

Quite possible, open to correction. BTW, for the heck of it, I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 to 11.04, to see if anything changed. So far, no good. The only thing that works is if I go to the Dell Recovery Tool and restore the system to the "factory shipped state." On first boot (only), bluetooth works as expected. As soon as a screensaver kicks in (or in any way a session ends), however, it is turned off, and the issue becomes what is in my first post.

I hope this is not extraneous information.

"Could you paste the result of "dkms status" and "lsusb" here?"

"And try to make the module in "/usr/src/ar3011-1.1ryu2.3/ar3011-1.1ryu2.3/"

Sorry, I'm going to need pretty explicit instructions on this--that directory doesn't exist on my machine. Do you want me to create it?

Also, when you say "make the module," are you referring to the dkms module in Post #1?

According to Synaptic Package Manager, the dkms module is installed.
