I really doubt that this is a bug specific to fedora. Rather, I think
that there is probably something that you are running into that I am not
capturing in my test cases.

So, can you do a few more tests for me to try to narrow this down?

Any other special stuff? How are you dual-booting between
fedora/windows? Can you be sure to hard power off system after windows
boot to make sure it isnt doing funky things to the hw.

        --> check if bluetooth is showing up in os.
