Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a kernel version where you were not having this particular problem? This will help determine if the problem you are seeing is the result of the introduction of a regression, and when this regression was introduced.

I have had the issue since I bought the BT adapter, on Ubuntu 11.10. The linux-firmware package 1.75 (pushed as a result of this bug posting: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/714862). I am not aware of a kernel version not having this problem (on my primary laptop). The odd thing is that this bt adapter works without the -110 error on another computer (HP 110-3000 netbook).

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.4kernel[1] (Not a kernel in the daily directory). Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag(Only that one tag, please leave the other tags). This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Based on information from the debian bug report, the kernel (ubuntu or mainline) doesn't matter. It's tied to udev rules implemented by the package "libmtp-runtime". I removed the package, and the bluetooth adapter works properly on boot.

I've also removed the linux kernel from the bug, because is not the offending package.

Most likely, upgrading the package from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 would solve the issues with the udev rules in libmtp-runtime (located in: /lib/udev/mtp-probe):

Neither the upstream nor the Debian bug have a confirmation that this works with 1.1.3-1. Has this version actually been tested wtih this player?

Otherwise this looks fairly good, nice to have some more supported devices.

Although it should work, unfortunately I cannot confirm this really works since I don't have any such device.
However if ubuntu-release agrees, I would go ahead sync'ing the package from Debian sid: I'm just waiting for your ACK.

I can confirm this fix works for the following device:
ID 0cf3:3005 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR3011 Bluetooth, "Trust usb 3.0 mini usb adapter"

After re-installing the removed 1.1.2-2 version of libmtp-runtime by its updated 1.1.3.1 version by just updating/upgrading from the default precise repository, the adapter works fine!
