bluetoothd is not started automaticly. I do have bluetooth in the dafault runlevel, but the bluetooth init scrip only performs: udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=bluetooth --action=add I did not find any corresponding udev rule which would start bluetoothd. When manually invoking `bluetoothd`, bluetooth works as expected. I recently did a @world update, prior to this bluetooth worked fine. I currently have installed: net-wireless/bluez-4.101-r5 and sys-fs/udev-197-r4 Reproducible: Always Portage 2.1.11.31 (default/linux/amd64/13.0, gcc-4.6.3, glibc-2.15-r3, 3.6.11-gentoo-phlox x86_64)

Something in your system is wrong: script was updated time ago to the following: /usr/portage/net-wireless/bluez/files/bluetooth-init.d-r2 depend() { after coldplug need dbus localmount hostname } start() { ebegin "Starting ${SVCNAME}" start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/sbin/bluetoothd eend $? } stop() { ebegin "Shutting down ${SVCNAME}" start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/bluetoothd eend $? } Please re-emerge it and run dispatch-conf to merge new file
Installing the correct init script fixed this problem. Sorry for your time.
No problem ;)
