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

 

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for your reply, and trying to "enlight" me . I read the link you give, but still I don't see the logic.
Say that I'd have some time to look further in this bug, and trying different things. It is very difficult for me then to find reports with bug similar to mine. I see no relevant metadata in launchpad.

For instance:

- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1351882

This one is very similar, same laptop, same hardware but strangely the USB device id are slightly different (IMC networks). 
So not 100% duplicate, but clearly very related. We don't see this in launchpad.

- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1349752

Similar bug, similar hardware but different vendor. Maybe same bug.
Maybe not duplicate, but clearly related. In any case, we don't see that
in launchpad.

The report alperyilmaz. There was an interesting comment from Max Schwarz (xqms), and a possible user space fix.
Since it is a different report, I did not see it. In the meantime, the bug is flagged as "expired", so it does not even appear if you do a basic launchpad search.

Also, why not announce here people created a new bug report?
I personally would like to know it, so that at least I have a chance to register myself to them.

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

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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
  Bus 003 Device 016: ID 13d3:3402 IMC Networks
  Device Descriptor:
    bDeviceProtocol         1 Bluetooth
    idVendor           0x13d3 IMC Networks
    idProduct          0x3402
    bcdDevice            0.02
    iManufacturer           1 Atheros Communications
    iProduct                2 Bluetooth USB Host Controller
    iSerial                 3 Alaska Day 2006

  $ 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
