Updated bluez tcel/tczl posted. Note that the extension now contains "pand" and a udev rule to start bluetooth. I gave this a go on my laptop, which has a hardware switch to enable/disable bluetooth:

Case 1
Boot with hw switch off
Load all required extensions
Start dbus manually (menu item/icon will start dbus and bluetooth)
hw switch on

Result: All required modules load, bluetooth starts and is ready to pair.

Case 2
Boot with hw switch on
Load all required modules except bt-2.6.29.1-tinycore
Start dbus manually
load bt-2.6.29.1-tinycore

Result: All required modules load, bluetooth starts and is ready to pair.

Case 3
Boot with hw switch on
Load all required modules
[udev loads bluetooth and btusb modules]
Start dbus manually
"sudo udevtrigger --subsystem-match=bluetooth"

Result: The rest of the required modules load, bluetooth starts and is ready to pair.

Note that I left the menu item/icon to start dbus/bluetooth in the extension as I am not sure that the udev rule will work with various bluetooth dongles, pcmcia, etc

updated bluez.tczl posted.

A start-up script has been added to the extension.

As long as the extensions are loaded in the order in which they are listed in the dep file, the dbus daemon will start, the bt modules will load and the bluetooth daemon will start automatically

Note:
1. For versions of tc earlier than 2.4rc1, the automatic start-up will not occur if the extensions and dep files are in /tce because the boot process loads the extensions in alphabetical order.
2. The automatic start-up will occur if the various extensions and dep files are placed in /tce/optional (or any other folder) and the appbrowser is used to load the bluez.tczl extension.

Note also:
The bluez.tcel extension has not been modified.

Tried to install the bluez, but I get messages about the MD5sum not matching, and it mentions xxx.tcel instead of xxx.tczl.

[Juanito]

Hmm - 'don't know what happened there - it should be OK now.

[Juanito]

adjusted start-up script so it does not start bluez when the extension is loaded - use /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez:
