[Bug 1264311] Re: BCM43142 bluetooth adapter not finding any bluetooth devices

 

OK, I get it work now. The 14.04 kernel is missing the firmware for the
bluetooth hardware.

I have downloaded the firmware, renamed and copied it appropriately and
now bluetooth is working:

wget http://wielki.tk/vostro/debs/bt-bcm43142-onereic_0.0+20111116somerville2_amd64.deb
 
dpkg-deb -x bt-bcm43142-onereic_0.0+20111116somerville2_amd64.deb bt-bcm43142
 
sudo cp bt-bcm43142/lib/firmware/BCM43142A0_001.001.011.0028.0036.hcd /lib/firmware/fw-105b_e065.hcd
 
sudo rmmod btusb
 
sudo modprobe btusb

Title:
  BCM43142 bluetooth adapter not finding any bluetooth devices

Status in “bluez” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On my officially Ubuntu-certified Lenovo B590 laptop the BCM43142
  bluetooth adapter is not working. I have two further bluetooth devices
  placed closely to the laptop, non-paired and each being able to
  discover the other respectively. None of them is able to discover the
  laptop, nor does 'hcitool scan' on the laptop find any devices. It
  does not give any errors though.
