Running Ubuntu 16.10 from a LiveUSB. Bluetooth adapter does not work. Even if I try Danilo Silva's suggestion of toggling Wi-Fi on/off using Fn keys. In my case, it should be Fn + F3. Actually, that key shortcut does not work for me. Pressing Fn + F3 if Wi-Fi is connected does not disable it, and vice versa. ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ uname -a Linux ubuntu 4.8.0-22-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 8 09:15:00 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lspci -knn | grep Net -A2; lsusb 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0036] (rev 01) Subsystem: Lite-On Communications Inc QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter [11ad:0803] Kernel driver in use: ath9k Kernel modules: ath9k Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:8001 Intel Corp.
