           Summary: Bluetooth connections not working with 0a5c:201e
                    Broadcom Corp. IBM Integrated Bluetooth IV
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 3.6.8-030608.201211271040 i386
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Bluetooth
        AssignedTo: linux-bluetooth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: linuxkbugs@xxxxxxxxxxx
        Regression: Yes


Bluetooth connections do not work: the rx channel works, while the tx stalls
after a few seconds of connection, and timeouts disconnecting the connection
after approximately one minute.

The device is 0a5c:201e Broadcom Corp. IBM Integrated Bluetooth IV, as seen on
lsusb; it uses the generic btusb driver.

This bug has been reported in the following places too, but I could not find
any follow-ups from kernel developers, so I'm reporting it on this Bugzilla
too.

I've tested the latest mainline kernel 3.6.8-030608.201211271040 from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.6.8-raring/ , this should be
the latest according to the timestamp, please tell me if I need to test with
another version.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 on an IBM ThinkPad X41.
