[Bug 1237296] Re: 168c:0036 [Acer Aspire E1-572] ath9k QCA9565/AR9565/QCWB335 Bluetooth works sporadic

 

Quick'n dirty fix to get both USB3 and Bluetooth running every time - do
automatic xhci_xcd unload / load cycle until no error messages in syslog
is detected:

Needs:
1. custom compiled kernel with xhci_xcd as module, not builtin.
2. Upstream kernel with device ids for 168c:0036 or recompiled modules from https://github.com/Satius/mod_0cf3_311f source.


1. Install Logmon from here
http://code.google.com/p/linscripts/wiki/logmon
2. Copy logmon.sh to /usr/sbin
3. Create executable shell script with following contents in /usr/sbin:

sudo touch /usr/sbin/logmon-run.sh
sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/logmon-run.sh

paste in:
#!/bin/bash
rmmod xhci-hcd
modprobe xhci-hcd

4. modify /etc/rc.local, add before line exit 0

/usr/sbin/logmon-run.sh
/usr/sbin/logmon.sh "/usr/sbin/logmon-run.sh" -m "Error in firmware loading" /var/log/kern.log&

========
Indeed, additional minor bug found for HP ProBook 450 G1, unfortunately no time to go in deeper checks - if USB3 is disabled in kernel, then after suspend / resume all USB ports are dead. Until suspend everything is working perfectly in USB2 mode. So no way to live without USB3.

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I got myself a brand new Acer Aspire E1-572-54204G50Mnkk, because of
  the shine new Haswell hardware I choose to install Ubuntu 13.10 Beta
  2.

  This laptop uses a Atheros AR9565 802.11 b/g/n 1 × 1 WiFi + Bluetooth
  4.0 combination adapter, Wireless is working fine. But Bluetooth
  doesn't, it seems to be successfully deteced but I can't see any other
  Bluetooth devices and they can't see me too.

  Yours sincerly
  Joshua
