BlueTooth Management Failure in Windows 8

Hey there,
In looking through forums, I see that I should be able view my Bluetooth device status through the networks portion of the Settings Charm after selecting &quotChange PC Settings&quot. Also, going to airplane mode should disable it. Neither is the case
for me. Has anyone seen this?
I also noticed right clicking my Bluetooth systray item doesn't allow me to disable the device. I have to go to Device ManagerNetwork Adapters listing and disable it there.
Further, when I connect my bluetooth headset, the only way that I have found to connect it is to go to playback devices and manually connect through there. This seems a step back from Windows 7, but I think it's probably tied to the above problems, and I
list it only for context.
I downloaded the most recent drivers.
Chassis: Dell e6410
Device: Dell Wireless 375 Bluetooth Module
OS: Windows 8 Enterprise
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Tom
