Installed new broadcom card... now no bluetooth

So I just installed a new Airport/bluetooth card i(4.0 ie BCM94331PCIEBT4CAX) into my Early 2011 Macbook pro... when I turn my computer on... I was happy to see my Wifi Working but it says no bluetooth hardware detected.

Since there is WIFI doesn't that the card works?

Or is it a defective card?

Could I have not attached something properly?

Or is it a software issue???

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

David, I would dry a PRAM reset before declaring it defective. Sometimes this forces the machine to recognize new hardware. Also, what do you see under System Profiler under bluetooth? Anything there?
