Hmm ... which aliases are in your modules.conf?
You should have something like this
alias net-pf-31 bluez
alias bt-proto-0 l2cap
alias bt-proto-2 sco
alias bt-proto-4 bnep
alias tty-ldisc-15 hci_uart
alias char-major-10-250 hci_vhci

The problem is that you probably do not want to have Bluetooth enabled
all the time. And as soon as you do the hciattach you have the device
opened, the blue LED flashing and the CSR module sucking power.
What we need is something like a Bluetooth manager that does
- configure the Bluetooth subsystem and services
- starting the device
- toggling of services, i.e. obex-push, PAN connection, SDP browse,
inquiry, etc.
This tool would then start the device by request from the user.
This tool would be needed twice, once for GPE and once for OPIE. Since
it requires user interaction we should have it integrated into the GUI
environments.

Sure!
I just got PAN running between iPaq and notebook and was "very amused"
;) So I am just a click away from starting this Bluetooth manager app
for GPE :)

Yes!
There is really good progress going on!
