apport-collect 1024884

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.

Hi, the first way should be the correct way to patch the files.
You need newer linux-firmware to have the needed files.
You can use the one I attached, or get the latest files from linux-firmware git tree.

both files are put in ar3k directory

Hi,
and now we have this error. firmware seems otherwise to be found and ok.

 [ 18.314384] usbcore: registered new interface driver ath3k
 [ 18.444041] usb 2-1.6: USB disconnect, device number 3

 [ 18.735285] usb 2-1.6: string descriptor 0 read error: -22

The adapter don't work. Load and unload the module ath3k shows always the same error message.

Hi, I build a dkms package, please help to verify it.
Please use the firmwares in comment #3 and #4 and then install the dkms package.
I think it should work for you.

You can use "dpkg -x ar9462-dkms_1.0_all.deb /tmp" to unpack it and read the source code if you have any concern about this dkms package.

Thanks.

After install the system hangs in a loop, and registration is not possible

I think you mean this deb - https://launchpad.net/~acelankao/+archive/ath3k ??

Hi, the dkms package I mentioned is ar9462-dkms_1.0_all.deb attached in comment #6.
The one in my repository is out of date, please don't use it.

Do you have any problem while installing that ar9462-dkms_1.0_all.deb package, it shouldn't make your system hang.
And could you give me some info after installing the package
1. the output of "dkms status" command
2. do "cp -a /usr/src/ar9462-1.0 /tmp ; cd /tmp ; make" and see if there is any error while doing make. If yes, please paste the error message here.

Hi AceLan Kao,

thanks for your dkms package. I have installed it but bluetooth-manager still doesn't find my bluetooth adapter.

Hi,

Sorry, I'm too busy last week and forgot to reply your message.
In the output of "dkms status", it looks like the ar9462 didn't install correctly, that's the problem.
That's a bug in my dkms package, please use the version 1.1 and try again.
Sorry for the mistake.

No problem. Thanks for your effort!
I have installed your new package and after a reboot I get following output:

It looks like the installation of the package was successful. But the blueetoth module doesn't use the ath9k module (if I understand correctly). Does ath9k replace ath3k? When I unload ath3k, my bluetooth still doesn't work.

Hi, it actually use ath3k.
ath3k is for bt, and ath9k is for wifi.

Please attach the result of the command "lsusb" here, I'm wondering if you have another usb id.
And be sure to put the firmware in comment #3 and #4 in your /lib/firmware/ar3k/
Thanks.

The firmware was already in the /lib/firmware/ar3k/ folder.

~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

The last entry should be my wireless mouse ("LogiLink ID 0031 2.4G Wireless Travel Mouse with Autolink"). I think it uses a Wifi frequency. Is this a problem for the driver?

Max, Interesting, I don't see any bt device listed by lsusb.
In some rare cases, this could happen.
But before we enter the next step, could you tell me how you know you are using AR9462?

The system should list your bt device first, so that we can enable it.
1. Please try to disable the bt device in the MS Windows if you ever use the bt device in Windows.
or
2. try to blacklist btusb and ath3k in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, and then reboot
Then, try to see if the bt device listed in lsusb.

Hi AceLan Kao,
I don't remember if the driver ath9k was installed automatically when I installed Ubuntu. But "lspci -nnk" gives:
...
0d:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0034] (rev 01)
 Subsystem: Lite-On Communications Inc Device [11ad:6621]
 Kernel driver in use: ath9k
 Kernel modules: ath9k
...

Is this information reliable? Or does it depend on the driver I choose?

Regarding blacklisting:
I had btusb blacklisted anyway.
Then I "unblacklisted" it und rebooted but there was no new device in lsusb.
Then I blacklisted btusb again and additionally ath3k (and rebooted) and still didn't see a new device.
And disableing bluetooth in Windows didn't help either.

But something is strange: although ath3k is blacklisted, "lsmod | grep bluetooth" returns:
bluetooth 180104 11 rfcomm,bnep,ath3k

By the way, in the Windows device manager an "Atheros AR5BWB222 Wireless Network Adapter" is listed.

Do you have another idea what to try?

Hi,

Do you use any adapter card for the AR9462 card?
And does the bt function works under Windows?

Hi,

> Do you use any adapter card for the AR9462 card?
Not to my knowledge. How can I find out? My laptop is an "Acer Aspire V3-771G-53214G50Makk 43,9 cm (17,3 Zoll) Notebook (Intel Core i5-3210M, 2,5GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, NV GT630M, DVD, Win 7 HP)". I couldn't find any information about an adapter card on the Acer website.

> And does the bt function works under Windows?
Yes, it works.

Max, ok, in that case, I think the problem comes from windows.
I don't know how to describe how to disable the bt from windows, but I'm sure that windows do the magic to prevent the bt device from being shown from other OS.
Try harder to disable bt in Windows, from the device manager or system control center to disable the bt device.
Try to let windows hands off from the bt device, then you can see the bt device shown from linux.

I disabled the "Bluetooth USB Module", the "Atheros Bluetooth Bus" and also the "Atheros AR5BWB222 Wireless Network Adapter". There is nothing else that looks like it could be related to the bluetooth adapter. But the adapter still wasn't found in Ubuntu (using kernel 3.2.30 I think).
Is there a command (in Linux) I can use to see which devices are built-in in my laptop and which are blocked by Windows?

Hi,

I've managed to let an ATH3012 chip work correctly. Please refer to my bug-report + patch: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1054307

I think you have to blacklist your vid:pid in btusb

HTH,

Any way to get Bluetooth Lite-On Communications Inc Device [11ad:6621] working?

My output of "lspci -nnk":

04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0034] (rev 01)

My bluetooth doesn't work at all. Having problems activating bluetooth and when I get it activated it doesn't find any BT devices (tested with my Handy and my BT headset).

Any help?

Hello,

I have followed your suggestions.

Used the firmware files you provided above and the 1.1 version of the dkms.

Me BT seems to work to some extent.. answers to commands etc. But it doesn't discover anything

sudo hcitool -i hci0 inq gives nothing.. even though devices are discoverable.

It is not discoverable either.

WLAN works fine though!
No windows installed, only Ubuntu 12.04

You talk about some newer FW, do you have a link to those?

Logs below.

Cheers, Markus

After the 1.1 try

Hello AceLan Kao,

Could you attach the newest files in a post?

Seems to be alot of different versions of FW avaialble in GIT.

Should the driver 1.1 version still be used?

Cheers, Markus

Sure, here you are.
Put the 2 files in /lib/firmware/ark3/ directory

The attached firmwares above have a new update for AR9462 chip, but didn't say what they patched.

Thank you!

But still no luck.

Commands to the BT chip works ok, but inq does not work.

It just doesn't find anything, seems like the RF is dead. (WLAN works perfect though)

Same as before.

I have two Computers with the exact same behaviour.

Best Regards, Markus

Markus, could you attach the result of lsusb to me, I don't see any bt device log you attached previously.

Hi AceLan,

Thank you for helping!

lsusb, lspci etc in attached file.

Let me know if anything else would help.

Best Regards, Markus

Markus, in your log
==
dkms status
ar9462, 1.1, 3.2.0-29-generic, x86_64: built
==
looks like the dkms is not installed well, it only get built.
And in your dmesg log, I don't see ath3k being inserted

The problem could come from not install ar9462 dkms package correctly,
try to re-install it and make sure the dkms status should be "installed"

Hello AceLan,

When uninstalling the dkms, it says "this module version was INACTIVE for this kernel"

Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, Kernel 3.2.0-32-generic

I reinstalled using apt-get and now it says installed.

However still not working, and no info in dmesg. See attached.

How does it know which FW to select?

Hello AceLan,

I also installed windows 7 and the BT works fine then..
Device discovery works as it should!

Best Regards, Markus

Hello AceLan,

More updates, I uninstalled Windows 7 and installed ubuntu again.

The BT still worked.. but only until I powered off and on the computer.
It seems Windows 7 successfully downloads FW and it stays like that until power off.

I tried the installation again. All looks goot, but no mention of ar3k in dmesg.

See attached logs.

Any more ideas?

Best Regards, Markus

Hello AceLan,

Also interesting, my lsmod doesn't show ath3k.

Best Regards, Markus

Andriy,

The 0489:e04e usb ID is another ath3k bluetooth device. My Acer Aspire V5-171, which has the AR9462, has this device ID for it's bluetooth module.

Unfortunately, by default, the kernel maps this device to the btusb driver which doesn't work properly. I did get the device to work sucessfully by patching the ath3k module to add the 0489:e04e usb ID. However, I lack the time to figure out how to submit a proper patch upstream.

Maybe someone following this defect could add the 0489:e04e device into the patch as well?

Thanks!
Hugh

I am also having problems with 0489:e04e Foxconn / Hon Hai.

Have not tried the dkms_1.3-3.5 yet.

Now it works! Thanks a lot!

linux-firmware SRU Justification

We need some new firmwares from linux-firmware to support AR9462 bt device.
Those firmware comes from the 2 commit shown below in linux-firmware tree.
I don't know if we could cherry-pick those firmwares into our
linux-firmware package for precise.
Or release a newer linux-firmware package in the precise-backports.

thanks everyone.

I finally got it to build and work with 12.10 after re-reading post 61 (thank you!) Also, had disabled wireless thru the gnome app as I am using Ethernet. However doing this also disabled Bluetooth for me. Following post 61 and enabling wireless got it going for me.

On a side note, now stuck with another issue the bluetooth-wizard crashes once you select the device :( Looks like a common issue with 12.10. At least now I got farther.

Can anyone verify for me that the linux-firmware upload in precise-proposed addresses this bug and verifies correctly?

Hi guys. I can't confirm whether this fixes the problem in precise-proposed however I am still having problems with this driver in quantal 12.10. I am not sure whether this is related to this bug or the issues Mike mentions in #72.

I had the same issue with the ath3k driver not loading any firmware and therefore not being able to pick up any HCI packets. I've since installed ar9462-dkms_1.4-3.5_all.deb and installed the driver into dkms. This allowed me to scan and pair with devices without any issue however any type of file sending refuses to work.

Specifically I have been able to reproduce a segfault when trying to use the bluetooth-sendto binary called from the ubuntu notification applet:

Jan 30 11:51:37 neil-lappy kernel: [ 9612.229927] bluetooth-sendt[12122]: segfault at 8 ip 0000000000404ec6 sp 00007fff63e242d0 error 4 in bluetooth-sendto[400000+7000]

The file transfer box just gives a generic "Transfer failed (0x4f)" message. I've attached my system information and hcidumps of both sending and receiving files from a Nexus 7 tablet. Neither of which completes successfully. I've tried sending to the laptop with an iphone as well with the same result.

Thanks.

Neil -
The issue I am seeing with bluetooth-wizard crashing is this one:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/1080656

However the work around to let it sit in post #8 makes no difference for me unfortunately.

Bug remains on kernel 3.2.0-37#58, linux-firmware-1.79.2, on Precise-proposed, verified on Dell inspiron 5720(201202-10404)

Adam, there is no ar9462 firmwares in the linux-firmware.
Actually, I didn't get the new linux-firmware package after I checked the "Pre-released updates (precise-proposed)" option.

BTW, the version of linux-firmware is 1.79.2

Last quantal-updates do not work neither.
linux-firmware is ready but
last linux-backports-modules-3.5.0 (3.5.0-24.10) do not check our device { USB_DEVICE(0x04CA, 0x3006) }
than this one must be patched again

I just added the package linux-backports-modules-3.5.0 at the header of this thread. Sorry, if I am wrong. I am not an expert. But this package must be updated to make our device working out of the box, at least...

As you can see, and I said, this one does not check our device.

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/quantal/linux-backports-modules-3.5.0/quantal-proposed/view/head:/updates/cw-3.6/drivers/bluetooth/ath3k.c

It looks to me like this bug should be marked verification-failed, as per comment #76, and linux-firmware removed from proposed to unblock other SRUs for the linux-firmware package.

Hi,

i have tried the same driver patch to Ubuntu 12.10 it desn't work.

can you pls provide me the driver for Ubuntu 12.10 Linux ?

Regds,
Bala S

Bala, you need to download sources of linux-backports-modules-3.5.0
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/linux-backports-modules-3.5.0
patch it the same way the first post of this thread
compile (make and make install)
You need to make sure linux-firmware is installed
reboot et voila
Let me know if it work for you.
It work like a charm for me

Hi,

Below is my SOP. Please correct me if i am wrong.

1. Download and install the linux-backports-modules-3.5.0

Hi Bala,
Let me take your hand
Open console and copy each line below.

sudo apt-get install linux-firmware
mkdir ~/bug1024884
cd ~/bug1024884
apt-get source linux-backports-modules-3.5.0
wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1024884/+attachment/3621036/+files/backports-mod-patch
patch -p1 -i backports-mod-patch
cd linux-backports-modules-3.5.0-3.5.0/updates/cw-3.6/
make
sudo make install

Then reboot

0489:e04e, 0489:e056, and 13d3:3393 are submitted to the mainstream stable kernel.
So, devices with those IDs will be working on Ubuntu soon.

Will need to ask the Ubuntu kernel team to update the firmware once those IDs go into Ubuntu kernel.

Maybe, there are here more than one bug.
All related to Atheros AR9462 combo card of course.

It sems that different vendors are providing BT part of this combo chip
Foxconn / Hon Hai (0489) vendor
imc networks corp (13d3) vendor

I and Flash63 (who opened this bug report)
have a Lite-On Technology Corp. (04ca) as BT part of this chip
our id is 04ca:3006

My patch #85 and the way to patch #86
are for this piece of hardware only.
verify with lsusb if you have
ID 04ca:3006 Lite-On Technology Corp.
before trying my patch

So in summary: will 0489:e04e be working with the next kernel upgrade?

Jean-Louis,
The patch for 04ca:3006 is not submitted by me, so I didn't get the notice email and didn't mention it above.
Below are the new devices list in the mainstream kernel tree and should be merged into stable kernel tree sooner or later.

2c262b2a5 (Daniel Schaal 2012-12-29 11:14:34 +0100 142) { USB_DEVICE(0x04ca, 0x3006), .driver_info = BTUSB_ATH3012 },
f4d6f7dce (Sergio Cambra 2013-01-10 01:06:55 +0100 143) { USB_DEVICE(0x04ca, 0x3008), .driver_info = BTUSB_ATH3012 },
eed307e29 (AceLan Kao 2012-12-11 11:41:20 +0800 148) { USB_DEVICE(0x13d3, 0x3393), .driver_info = BTUSB_ATH3012 },
3a61eda81 (AceLan Kao 2013-01-03 12:24:59 +0800 149) { USB_DEVICE(0x0489, 0xe04e), .driver_info = BTUSB_ATH3012 },
2582d529c (AceLan Kao 2013-01-03 12:25:00 +0800 150) { USB_DEVICE(0x0489, 0xe056), .driver_info = BTUSB_ATH3012 },

Kirils,
No, we have to wait those patches to be merged into stable tree and wait GregKH to release it.
And then wait Ubuntu kernel team merges the stable kernel and release a new Ubuntu kernel.
And to fix this issue, we still need new firmwares, so we have to ask Ubuntu kernel to release a new linux-firmware.
Then, we can say all set.
The process would probably need 2 months or more.

Thank you alcelankao for all this good news

Hello flash63, or anyone else affected,

Accepted linux-firmware into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/1.79.4 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

This bug was fixed in the package linux-firmware - 1.79.4

Just to say that bt mouse work out of the box after upgrade to Raring Ringtail :)

04ca:3006 is in precise and quantal kernel.
and some other ids are in precise kernel as well
0489:e056 , 0489:e04e , 13d3:3393

So, I'll close this bug now.

If you find your AR9462 BT device, not the IDs listed above, is not working, please open a new bug.
Thanks.

As the driver and firmware are fixed in kernel, there is no need to touch linux-backports-modules.

Had the same issue with my HP EliteBook 2170p having next version of AR9462 with ID 0cf3:311e in Rarian. Fixed by blacklisting it in the btusb and ath3k drivers. The ready deb package is attached

Bluetooth still not working for me, xps 15 with killer-wireless

You will need to install firmware too.
