I did not test yet with the latest daily build. I'll do so asap.

However, still on 12.10 with kernel 3.11.0-14-generic #21, I can recover
Bluetooth if I turn on / off the antenna.

More precisely, at boot, I usually have wifi, but not bluetooth. If I
turn off antenna via keyboard, I lose wifi, but get back bluetooth, and
vice-versa.

Relating to bug report from alperyilmaz, I see his comment on "rfkill".
So I did similar tests. Although I don't have BT, rfkill reports that BT
is not RF blocked. But if I block / unblock BT, I can recover BT.

# Just after boot - I have wifi, but no bluetooth (no BT icon)
$ rfkill list

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
1: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
2: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no

# I kill RF for bluetooth, then restore it
sudo rfkill block bluetooth
sudo rfkill unblock bluetooth

$ rfkill list

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
1: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
2: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
3: hci0: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no

I rebooted several times, and this apparently succeeds all the time.

Status in “linux” 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.

  $ sudo lsusb -v

  $ sudo lspci
  04:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)

  dmesg:
  [   13.663135] Bluetooth: Error in firmware loading err = -110,len = 448, size = 4096
  [   13.663173] Bluetooth: Loading patch file failed
  [   13.663198] ath3k: probe of 3-5:1.0 failed with error -110
  [   13.663229] usbcore: registered new interface driver ath3k

  Things already tried (to no much avail):
  - Update BIOS to latest version
  - Install "bluetooth" package
  - Enable ath9k bt coexistence (as per http://5thpeephole.blogspot.be/2013/10/install-ubuntu-1310-in-asus-n550jv.html)
  - unload / reload ath3k module:
  $ sudo modprobe -r ath3k; sleep 1; sudo modprobe ath3k
