[Bug 1189721] Re: Ralink RT3290 needs bluetooth driver

 

Will this be fixed in the 3.16 kernel? It's annoying to have to use Windows to transfer files via bluetooth. The bluetooth implementation in ubuntu is by far better than the one implemented in Windows. Or at least, how can I contact to the kernel developers, and provide info or test kernels with my hardware? I would patch the driver by myself, if I'd enough knowledge to do it.
The same with wifi. The driver performance is very poor and there are already a functionally driver that can be included in the kernel.
