Bug Description

I don't know if this is related to me upgrading the kernel to 4.1.1 (needed to test invisible mouse bug I reported previously), but I am encountering an issue where I go to:
"All Settings"->Bluetooth
  Bluetooth: Y
However Bluetooth Settings still says "Bluetooth is disabled" even though the switch is set to "ON".

I upgraded from kernel 4.0 which, while not 100% sure, I tested and it worked. It DEFINITELY worked with the 3.19-#+ released kernels.

I think I should also mention that previously (multiple reinstalls for clean tests) I upgraded to Bluez5 and Gnome 3.16 while still using kernel 3.19 and I'd have that same result.
I'd decided to opt out of Bluez5 and G3.16 since it seemed to be just a WIP so the only difference now is I'm using kernel 4.1.1

$ apt-cache policy linux-firmware

/lib/firmware doesn't contain "rtl_bt"

I see that "http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_1.145_all.deb" DOES contain that path.
