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???

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?

I'd also reset the SMC.
