Ralink RT3290 [1814:3298] missing bluetooth support with 12.04.5(kernel 3.13)

[kaxing]

Look into the spec, the ralink rt3290 should have bluetooth supported,
https://wikidevi.com/files/Ralink/RT3290%20product%20brief.pdf

System with fresh 12.04.5 installed does not detect the bluetooth correctly.

rfkill failed to show the bluetooth device:
ubuntu@201209-11786:~/$ rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: no

However lspci does listed bluetooth device:
ubuntu@201209-11786:~/$ lspci -v|grep -i RT3290
02:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT3290 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe

According to realtek, the bluetooth device 1814:3298 needs a proprietary driver to work, due to something about their PCI-E design, they will not upstream it.

This issue has been reported before: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1078606/comments/13

(created with checkinstall)

sudo dpkg -i rtbth_3.9.3-patched-1_amd64.deb

[TJ (tj)]

There's an up-to-date github repo containing a DKMS package which has been confirmed to work with 16.04.

sudo apt install git dkms
cd /usr/src
git clone https://github.com/f1u77y/rtbth.git rtbth-3.9.4.1
sudo dkms install rtbth/3.9.4.1

modinfo rtbth

sudo modprobe rtbth

hcitool dev

at this point the host controller should be reported.

TJ (tj):
Successfully worked only for the first time. Dunno what happened then. Maybe device got broken.
