I'm having trouble with an AR3012 under Oneric (amd64): Linux (and the GUI notification-area tool) recognize the chipset, but scans for devices always fail.

I have a Pavilion g4 with a Bluetooth chip that Win7 reports as "Atheros AR3012 Bluetooth 4.0 + HS". I tried installing the ar3011-dkms_1.1ryu2.3_all.deb DKMS module, but after reboot, btusb still loads to handle the AR3012. When I rmmod --force btusb and modprobe ath3k, the AR3012 is no longer available.

The following is from a scan with 4 BT devices advertising themselves (a mono headset, an Android phone, BT audio headphones, and BT speakers):

david@snape:~$ sudo hciconfig
hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: USB
 BD Address: 74:DE:2B:4C:2E:D7 ACL MTU: 1022:8 SCO MTU: 183:5

 TX bytes:894 acl:0 sco:0 commands:35 errors:0
david@snape:~$ hcitool -i hci0 scan

david@snape:~$

Under Win7, the chipset works, and all my BT devices can be connected.

Any suggestions?
