[Bug 1189721] Re: Ralink RT3290 doesn't have a bluetooth driver

 

This is seriously disheartening ...

Bug #1189721 reported by Graeme Pietersz on 2013-06-11
That was 2 years and 5 months ago!!

No disrespect to Alexandre but his report of a working solution seems to
be a bit shaky in that we don't have any specifics of the circumstances
under which it is operating.

Unfortunately there is also a lot of "noise" - reports that a fix is
working ... until the first reboot etc ...

Other than this issue both 14.04 and 15.10 are very iffy on my HP
Pavilion 11.

I though that the days of unsupported hardware were behind us  but it
appears not.

I am hoping that this gets to the attention of the Ubuntu/Canonical team
although after 2 years and 5 months one would have thought that it would
have been seen and addressed?

If there are too many bugs to deal with, maybe the Ubuntu team needs to
reign in the development and consolidate for a while??
