[Bug 1260825] Re: 168c:0032 ath3k built-in bluetooth cannot load firmware - sporadic

 

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.13 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  168c:0032 ath3k built-in bluetooth cannot load firmware - sporadic

Status in “linux-firmware” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is on an ASUS N550JV.

  Basically, the Bluetooth is sporadically available after
  restart/login. When not available, we get an error msg in dmesg about
  a patch that failed to load.

  This bug seems similar to
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1102622.
