    If you downloaded the Security Update 2009-6 and you're running Mac OS X 10.5.8, your bluetooth might be broken. To fix it, you have to reinstall the old bluetooth kexts, which I've zipped up for you guys. Just unzip to your desktop, and install them either through kexthelper b7 or by copying them to /System/Library/Extensions and repairing permissions. After you install the kexts, reboot, and bluetooth will be restored.

    File size- ~1MB
    Files- 2 kexts

    I will also be updating my tutorial with these kexts :)
