Bluetooth with AR9462 doesn't work (New ID /Firmware)

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 1394368

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

Can you provide some information on the status of the patch with regards to getting it merged upstream? Has it been sent upstream, what sort of feedback has it received, is it getting applied to a subsystem maintainer's tree, etc?

The problem is, the fix won't work without the firmware "AthrBT_0x11020100.dfu".
I just found a Windows version of the firmware (http://driveragent.com/c/archive/f2ea5a6c/Qualcomm-Atheros-Communications-Bluetooth-Controller-software-update-released-in-January--2014?PHPSESSID=09f4763lvg0gd1s9qc3ap62kn2)

I removed the "patch" from the original post, because it isn't really a patch.
Instead, here is a dkms package which adds the ID in btusb.c and ath3k.c
After applying the package and adding the (currently) missing firmware files "AthrBT_0x11020100.dfu" (and probably ""ramps_0x11020100_40.dfu") to "lib/firmware/ar3k/", Bluetooth should work.

If you can find a firmware source that also contains the licence information we can consider including it in Ubuntu.
Thanks!

Fix: After installing the dkms module, put this in "lib/firmware/ar3k/"

You also have to add this in "lib/firmware/ar3k/".

After a reboot Bluetooth was fully working for me.

Unfortunately, i can't find any sources including a license, I just extracted these from a Windows Update file.

Without knowing what license a firmware binary is we cannot include it in our distribution. Please post any links to a licence file in this bug if you find it and we can work on inclusion then.

I am aware of that, i just wanted to post the instructions and files to help other people fixing the bug temporarily.

Well all the other ar3k Firmware files are under this Redistribution license:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/LICENCE.atheros_firmware

And as AthrBT_0x11020100.dfu is just a small version change from AthrBT_0x11020000.dfu (which is already included) you can assume that it is under the same license.
But i guess assumptions are not enough ...

 So the only way is to ask Qualcomm to provide the Firmware with a licence file?

Now, with the support for this ID added, a new Problem exists; the same as with many other ath3k users:
It only works sporadically: Works -> Reboot - > Doesn't work -> After a few reboots it works again

Just like in these (still open) Bug Reports:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1336179

In my case, with the Asus Z87-Pro motherboard (With the latest firmware) I am having similar problems like Wallcom mentioned. The wireless (For G, N or AC) works randomly. Reboot and it works. Reboot and it does not.

The problem gets worse if I activate the Bluetooth where it creates a kind of weird issue with Network Manager where I can't connect to any wifi AP.

I have this bug on Acer Aspire V3-371-59W7 with kernel 3.16.0-28-generic.

Intalling DKMS package doesn't help, dmesg contains fimware loading error (same as posted above). Also, bluetooth works after rebooting from Windows.

I got pointed here from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1425252

As suggested also above I copied both these files from Windows' (Program Files\Common Files\QCA-Bluetooth) to Ubuntu's /lib/firmware/ar3k -folder:
- AthrBT_0x11020100.dfu
- ramps_0x11020100_40.dfu

With these files in place the Bluetooth is working on both of these experimental kernels: (for more info see bug 1425252, link above)
- 3.18.0-14-generic #15 SMP Fri Feb 27 18:38:10 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- 4.0.0-040000rc1-generic #201502261652 SMP Thu Feb 26 16:56:29 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Bluetooth still does not work on published kernels:
- 3.16.0-31-generic #41~lp1352821v1 SMP Fri Feb 20 20:52:34 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux OR
- 3.16.0-30-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 12 22:06:37 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Now I'm also facing the same Bluetooth works / does-not-work after reboot issue. At least bluetooth mouse doesn't automatically reconnect after restart. Instead mouse text "flickers" in Bluetooth GUI screen. After clicking "ON" button (on bluetooth gui) for several times the bluetooth mouse might reconnect - or not.

Also if I click "Connection ON" to mouse from underneath the Bluetooth icon on system tray it seems to try to get the connection establihed as the bluetooth icon's lock symbol goes ON and OFF repeatedly.

System: Acer Aspire V3-371-79RJ and Ubuntu 14.10.

Hi, I've followed all the steps and bluetooth is still idle. I've set up the second kernel. Any help? Thanks!

Here is the package with new firmware files for Ar3012.

Still not working ...

@Wallcom

Does it work with patched bt? You mentioned in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1394368/comments/4 that it does.

I will send the patch upsteram and it will get into stable kernels. But firmware should be installed either way.
Only firmware won't work.

Patch has been sent and already applied to bluetooth-next.

It should appear in kernel 4.2 and then be backported to all Ubuntu supported kernels.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/18/596

Sorry, i forgot on which machine i was on.

With the correct firmware and the patch described in the initial post (thanks for sending it upstream!),
it still hat the loading bug as described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1394368/comments/10

Let's wait till it gets into mainline kernel, it may be soon to 4.1. Then you will test it and then I will report it to kernel maintainers if it persists.

@Alberto I can't do anything with firmware. Only kernel patch has been addressed. But firmware is needed too.

This bug was fixed in the package linux - 4.1.0-2.2

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Fix came in via stable upstream release.

This patch makes Ubuntu unstable on my computer. I commented on bug
#1397885 to describe the situation.

Bug #1397885 is a duplicate of this bug. If the fix is causing you issues you should be commenting here and not there.

What issues are you seeing. Saying that it is "unstable" could mean anything.

I commented on the duplicate because I think the situation is a bit
different.
This patch simply fixes #1394368, that is, for many people who have the
0x04ca:0x300d device.

However, the same patch makes the same device enter a disconnect /
reconnect infinite loop in my specific laptop model (Acer Aspire
V3è371-31KW). The original poster of the duplicate, #1397885, also has
an Acer Aspire and might be affected by the same issue (not sure about
it). Sorry about commenting the duplicate if it was wrong.

On my laptop, the patch makes the firmware load into the device and it
begins an infinite disconnect/reconnect cycle. The boot makes ages,
lsusb freezes.

This wireless module does not work without this patch anyway. So the patch is not a regression.
If some specific laptops have your issue, it nay be fixed by disabling wireless adapter in bios or locking it by a hardware or software switch.

This is actually a bug. I think it is worth creating a separate report for it.

You can install lernel from proposed and report a new bug.

The patch in my opinion is a regression for some specific laptops like
mine. We go from "everything works except Bluetooth" to "The system
works badly, and Bluetooth still doesn't work".

Someone who doesn't know the bug can't even guess easily this is caused
by the Bluetooth driver (if (s)he even know what is a driver, and
messing with kernel modules and/or bios is not an option for most people).

I will install the new kernel and report a new bug. I think the new
report should get a "critical" level. This update will break existing
installations, which should never happen.

I agree. Maybe it makes sense to remove this patch, until the issue is
sorted out.
I can add a dkms module to ppa for those who are not affected.

@Brad What do you think?

@Pilot6

I believe this may be hurting more people than it is helping. The correct action is to revert this patch and produce new kernels.

I agree. It is weird that upstream they did not notice the report.
I hope that they will notice it now, because I am the patch author.
I will send revert patches.

I'm about to send a launchpad bug against linux-image-3.19.0-26-generic
describing the bug, attaching the mail I sent to the maintainer. Should
I, even though the patch is going to be reverted?

Should I send a new mail to the maintainers?

Raphael,

Can you test this issue with kernel 4.2? Maybe there is a fix there for loading firmware.

I sent it upstream. I hope the notice it this time.
I cannot cinfirm this bug for the latest kernels, but I hope to get some response.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/8/11/311

Just tested mainline 4.2 rc6, still affected by the same problem.

Thank you very much for your help, and thank you for your decision to
report this fix.

Raphaël Jakse

Raphael,

Can you remove the firmware file? Do you still have problems?

If I remove the firmware, my system boots correctly and I get :

[ 16.210927] Bluetooth: Patch file not found ar3k/AthrBT_0x11020100.dfu
[ 16.210930] Bluetooth: Loading patch file failed

It means that common Ubuntu users will not have problems if they
manually do not install that firmware.

All right, so if this file isn't added to a package like linux-firmware
or linux-firmware-non-free, this seems to ok (and even better) to let
the fix reach users by upgrade. This will simplify the situation to any
user who don't have the problem I have.

I didn't remember that I added this firmware file by myself, I'm sorry I
made you revert your patch which finally don't cause any trouble to
users who didn't modify their system.

Do you know if there is any plan to include this firmware in Ubuntu
repositories ?

The problem is that we cannot control when the firmware is added. And
it is hard to track it. It is not added because of legal reasons.
There is no a driver package with the firmware in an acceptable format
with a distribution license. I think that it should be reverted either
way.
But the maintainers will decide. I wrote about that too.

Raphaël, check out the solution I have described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-utopic/+bug/1462614/comments/37

Maybe it will work for you too.

That seems to work for me with linux kernel 4.1 and 4.2 rc6 ! Thank you
very much !

Dmitry, pushing your patch (i.e. reverting the revert) seems safe for
me, however we should make sure that this version of the firmware will
be distributed, not the other one, if ever, and that this new version
works for everyone.

Thanks for all the great and hard work of ubuntu staff.
Your product to make the world a better place.

I have a wish.
My NB use a Bluetooth chip(AR9462) and it model is "ACER Aspire V3-371-59G4".
I use it every day.
I can not bear the update fails, this will allow me to work interruption.
Great version of the update, let me worry about compatibility, ex:3.13.0-61 to 4.1.

I have a request.
my Ubuntu is old and Stable version (14.04 LTS), can you help me, relaease a Stable version append an fix.
I'll use the official update tool (software-properties-gtk) at every day, get the latest amendments core, ex: 3.13.0-6x.

Very appreciate your help.

Unfortunately, the fix for your card won't likely be included in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

You need to get those firmware files and put them in /lib/firmware/ar3k:

and get an updated driver for your kernel. Unfortunately, the dkms driver provided in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1394368/comments/4 doesn't seem to work with kernel 3.13.

wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-utopic/+bug/1462614/+attachment/4453553/+files/AthrBT_0x11020100.dfu
wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-utopic/+bug/1462614/+attachment/4453554/+files/ramps_0x11020100_40.dfu
wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1394368/+attachment/4455590/+files/ar9462-dkms_1.0_all.deb
sudo mv AthrBT_0x11020100.dfu /lib/firmware/ar3k/
sudo mv ramps_0x11020100_40.dfu /lib/firmware/ar3k/
sudo dpkg -i ar9462-dkms_1.0_all.deb
sudo apt-get -f install
(if the last command suggests installing new packages, press 'y' and press enter.)

You might need to reboot.

The dpkg module is not compatible with later kernels.

I've been following this bug as I'm also affected. I've AR9462 in Acer Aspire V3-371-79RJ and Ubuntu 15.04 (3.19.0-26-generic).

I made a clean install about a month ago and have now all updates installed. Still dmesg says: "Bluetooth: Patch file not found ar3k/AthrBT_0x11020100.dfu" and bluetooth is not working.

Could someone please recap the above discussion and point out what steps a general user needs to take to make Bluetooth work?

Thanks for fixing this for us!

Jukka,

For the moment : assuming you have the same harware as me as far as Bluetooth is concerned (we both have a Acer Aspire V3-371).

The right firmware files for this chipset have normally been found (thanks arty). However, unfortunately, they won't be included in Ubuntu for the moment for licensing issues.

A patch exists to make the driver recognise the chipset and was included in upstream kernel (version 4.2). It probably won't reach Ubuntu until next release.

Here are some commands to be entered in a terminal to work around the issue. They should download and install the right firrmware files for your Bluetooth chipset and a patched driver which recognises your chipset.

sudo dpkg -i ar9462-dkms_1.5.1_all.deb
sudo apt-get -f install

You might need to reboot. Please tell us if that works.

Raphaël,

Thank you for very very clear and precise recap.

I followed your advice, but for some reason 'sudo dpkg -i ar9462-dkms_1.5.1_all.deb' stops to 'Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.19.0-26-generic (x86_64)'.

I've included both
- terminal output (build_command.txt) and
- make.log (build_make.log)
files in the attached ZIP packet.

Any idea why this happened? I'm ready to test more.

All right, it seems the module I told you to install isn't compatible
with your kernel. It is suitable for linux 3.16. Something changed
between 3.16 and 3.19. Sorry.

I'll try to build a module for your kernel later in the week end. Please
send me a mail if I forget.

Cheers

Hi,
same problem here. I tried latest ubuntu with kernel 4.2, didnt work. Then tried previous version, downgrading from 3.19 to 3.16, followed the instruction for 3.16, but now the problem is that bluetooth works only on every other reboot - as described here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1260825 . Any news about the issue or kernel versions where this works?

Michal

Raphaël,

Thank you very very much.

Your solution works for me. I have a Acer V3-371.

Hello,

I would like to report that I, too, am experiencing the same issue. I have a Dell Inspiron 15R with Ubuntu 14.04 and the latest 3.19 kernel. Bluetooth device ID: 13d3:3395 does not exist in ath3k.c or btusb.c.

This is not "the same issue". You have a different adapter.

Report a new bug by running

ubuntu-bug linux

in terminal.

You can subscribe to that report. I will look into it.

With all due respect; unless I am mistaken, this bug report deals with the Atheros AR9462 bluetooth issues. While I did not consider mention that I recently upgraded the WiFi/Bluetooth combo on my computer to this device, it is indeed a Qualcomm Atheros AR9462. LSUSB output indicates: Bus 003 Device 003: ID 13d3:3395 IMC Networks. The following snippet from linux-3.19/drivers/bluetooth/ath3k.c shows what currently exists in the following:

usb_device_id ath3k_table[]
{ USB_DEVICE(0x131d, 0x3393) },
{ USB_DEVICE(0x131d, 0x3402) },

usb_device_id ath3k_blist_tabl[]
{ USB_DEVICE(0x131d, 0x3393), .driver_info = BTUSB_ATH3012 },
{ USB_DEVICE(0x131d, 0x3402), .driver_info = BTUSB_ATH3012 },

My previous statement is correct. If I must open a new bug report I will do so. I just wanted to clarify the issue I was experiencing. Thank you for your time.

This bug deals with a specific adapter

(0x04ca, 0x300d)

This bug has been fixed and has nothing to do with your problem at all.

If you want it to be fixed report another bug.

This command doesn't work for me:

Looks like the module is built for 3.16.0-24-generic, which is earlier than the status quo 3.16.0-27-generic.
Is there a way to get the module file built against latest kernel?

What is the Ubuntu version? Why not just upgrade your kernel?

If you have Ubuntu 14.04, remove that module and run

sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-wily

it will install kernel 4.2 with this patch already included.

Hello, I'm currently running kernel 4.1.20 and I'm experiencing this exact issue. For the same reasons as above, I can't install the patch because of the kernel difference. I have tried just adding the firmware files but that also doesn't seem to fix the problem.

I also tried upgrading my kernel to linux-generic-lts-wily as recommended above.
