Yes. The same here. Just the bluetooth rfkill interface. Unfortunately
if there is no interface available I have no other hints. Maybe
pincers ?

# lsmod | grep ipw
ipw2200               193740  0 
libipw                 45936  1 ipw2200
lib80211                7460  2 ipw2200,libipw

# rfkill list all
0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
