Bluetooth Broken on Kernel 3.0.0-rc5 #56

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compiling kernel 3.0.0-rc5 and trying to connect a bluetooth device

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Bluetooth device will pair and be usable.
Actual: KDE (Bluedevil) hangs at connecting to device. Blueman throws 
"Input/output error", and hcitool reports a timeout connecting to device.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Kubuntu 11.04 kernel 3.0.0.-rc5

Please provide any additional information below.
Bluetooth works perfectly in kernel 2.6.38.6. I'm not sure how to go about 
finding the source of the problem so if anyone can offer some tips on how to do 
so, that'd be wonderful.

With the release of kernel 3.0 it is working again. I did, however, make some 
kernel config changes so I will need to recompile the stock kernel and see if 
it was those changes that got it working again. Update soon.

I had some config errors that prevented bluetooth and WLAN from working. All I 
did was copy my config from kernel 2.6.38.8 where everything was working and 
accept defaults for new config options. I guess that broke it.

Anyway, if you have the same problems enable the following in the kernel config 
to correct it.

First, run "make menuconfig"

Bluetooth:
Networking Support > Bluetooth subsystem support > Enable everything.
Networking Support > Bluetooth subsystem support > Bluetooth device drivers > 
Enable everything.
Device Drivers > Broadcom specific AMBA > Enable Support for BCMA on PCI-host 
bus

WLAN:
Device Drivers > Networking device support > Wireless LAN > Atheros Wireless 
Cards > Enable Atheros ath9k PCI/PCIe bus support

Recompile & install the new kernel and hopefully everything will work!
