Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.0 kernel[0].

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.

tested 4.1 rc2
same result.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Tycho Huisman, did this problem not occur in a release prior to Vivid?

BTW, you may click the "Hide" button on any of your comments to remove them from view.

[THuis (medspec)]

Yes, this has always been there.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

THuis, please define "always been there". Since what release back specifically?

[THuis (medspec)]

Christopher,

Sorry, for unclear reply.

It was a fresh install on new system using with 14.10.

[Sumit Khanna (djsumdog)]

I'm having the same issue on my MSI WS-60 laptop running Gentoo / kernel: 4.0.0-wl-ath+ (kvalo's ath kernel fork). Recently someone was able to get Wi-fi working by extracting the firmware from the windows drivers. I realize the Wi-Fi is the ath10k and the bluetooth is the ath3k, but I have a felling these chips are most likely bundled together on newer laptops.

See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184

This is part of the dmesg,

is this the info you need?

[penalvch (penalvch)]

THuis, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one. Could you please report this problem to the appropriate mailing list (linux-bluetooth) by following the instructions verbatim at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel ?

Please provide a direct URL to your e-mail to the mailing list once you have made it so that it may be tracked via http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html . It can take a day for the new e-mail to show up in the respective archive.

Thank you for your understanding.

[THuis (medspec)]

wil do that Christopher, thanks for al the help!

[Sumit Khanna (djsumdog)]

I couldn't find this on the Linux kernel-bluetooth mailing list. I went ahead and subscribed and submitted it (accidentally sent it twice). Here is a link to the thread:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg62106.html

No one has responded. I'd like to work on this problem, but I haven't done any kernel debugging and am not sure where to being. I've looked through `drivers/bluetooth/ath3k.c` and it seems like my device's USB ID is listed in there under the correct device.

Where do I go from here?

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Sumit Khanna, it appears you didn't read much of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1451689/comments/14 , as you are missing 90%+ of all information required for upstream to begin reviewing your issue.

[Levi Bard (taktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktak)]

FWIW, it looks like the windows drivers at http://www.killernetworking.com/support/driver-downloads contain patch and ramp files that look like they should match (at least, the names are correct). However, the binary format doesn't appear to match the other patch and ramp files (e.g. the last 8 bytes of the patch file aren't the rom version and build version).

Are we supposed to be able to use these out-of-the-box, or is there some preprocessing that needs to happen? Or did qualcomm just completely change the format?

[Pilot6 (hanipouspilot)]

This

[ 3.202678] Bluetooth: Configuration file not found ar3k/ramps_0x00000200_0.dfu

is weird.

There are no such firmware files in Windows drivers.

Please try to install this deb and test.

I installed this .deb and reboot, still have the same line in dmesg

[ 12.077827] Bluetooth: Patch file not found ar3k/AthrBT_0x00000200.dfu

However I have a MSI gt72 2QE which may require different driver.
see duplicate bug I reported.

[Mike Ellertson (mdellertson)]

I'm on an MSI Dominator GT72 2QD, and have the wifi working by implementing the following bug fix, but bluetooth isn't working.

Does anyone have found a solution?

[Brad Parker (cbparker)]

I'm not aware of a solution, I tried using the firmware of the same filename from Windows but it failed to load it.

[Brad Parker (cbparker)]

There is a similar kernel bug here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99371

But I have not tried the solution yet.

[chevrier (tc-s)]

same problem here - apologies for being blur, but what is the exact solution, if any?

looks like we're all getting the exact same display, no?
here's mine...
