Need support for MediaTek Bluetooth device [0e8d:763e]

[Po-Hsu Lin]

CID: 201306-13836 HP Pavilion 15

The Bluetooth device is totally not working on this system,
the applet was not showing up, nothing reported by hciconfig

Steps:
1. Install 12.04.3 + update (3.8.0-33), boot to desktop
2. Try to pair with other Bluetooth devices.

Expected result:
- This system could pair with any other Bluetooth device, and it will be working normally.

Actual result:
- Bluetooth device not supported. No Bluetooth applet available.

Output from usb-device, no driver was in use.

This is a known issue as Ralink has not submitted their driver upstream.

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Also affects 201305-13643 HP Pavilion 14

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Still affecting 12.04.4 and 14.04

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.

However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request.

  With the recent release of this Ubuntu release, would like to confirm if this bug is still present. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released.

If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.

 Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.
