Hi, Exactly the sane problem on Acer machine is described here. It includes workaround also. The root cause is the same which we figured "New atheros AR3012`s id is not included in ath3k bluetooth kernel module" http://www.linlap.com/acer_aspire_s3 ************************************* Bluetooth The bluetooth module is the new Atheros AR3012, which requires loading a firmware before it can be used. For now, patching the kernel is required to recognize this module as AR3012 one. The patch, and it's upstream progress, can be seen here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.kernel/18801 New atheros AR3012`s id is not included in ath3k bluetooth kernel module, you can compile your own kernel using this: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/4/69 More info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1867447&highlight=zenbook ************************************* -- -Jukka **************** Powered by Linux **************** -----Original Message----- From: Jukka Kivari <jukka.kivari@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-to: jukka.kivari@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: Kalle Valo <kvalo@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Atheros AR3012 problem in Ubuntu 12.04LTS Date: Sun, 25 Nov 2012 21:10:50 +0200 Hi, Thanks for quick response. We are using standard Ubuntu release. We don't have access to Dell pre-installed version (yet) as it's not available/supported in Finland. I have asked it from Dell but let's see if we get it or not. BT isn't working on standard 11.10 Ubuntu either, nor in 12.10. We haven't tried manual binding yet. We'll check it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
