[Solved]Upgrade to kernel 3.15.1 causes bluetooth to fail

After the kernel upgrade my bluetooth fails to work.

bstrik@liberty ~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0cf3:3005 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR3011 Bluetooth
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04b3:310b IBM Corp. Red Wheel Mouse
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
bstrik@liberty ~$

These messages are in the journal:

Jun 18 17:16:06 liberty kernel: Bluetooth: Can't get version to change to load ram patch err
Jun 18 17:16:06 liberty kernel: Bluetooth: Loading patch file failed
Jun 18 17:16:06 liberty kernel: ath3k: probe of 5-1:1.0 failed with error -110
Jun 18 17:16:06 liberty kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver ath3k

The result is that I do not have a HCI0 device and therefore no working bluetooth.
Is this a bug or a misconfiguration in the kernel?

Did you reboot after the upgrade?

Yes, I always reboot after a kernel update.

I found that this is a kernel bug, so I just have to wait a little.

Re: [Solved]Upgrade to kernel 3.15.1 causes bluetooth to fail

After upgrading to newest kernel, bluetooth won't start.
Dmesg shows it's unable to load a patch.
CK-kernel 3.14.8-1 still has a working bluetooth.
Anyone else seeing this?

ck-3.14.8-1

Yes, I've seen it. It is a kernel-bug see this post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183038

Ah, yes clear, thanks for the link. I'll wait for the patch and run ck for now.

Re: [Solved]Upgrade to kernel 3.15.1 causes bluetooth to fail

This seems to work:

# cd /usr/lib/modules/3.15.3-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/
# cp ath3k.ko.gz ath3k.ko.gz.orig
# cp btusb.ko.gz btusb.ko.gz.orig
# gunzip ath3k.ko.gz
# gunzip btusb.ko.gz
# sed -e 's/\xf3\x0c\x05\x30/\xf3\x0c\x05\xe0/g' ath3k.ko > at.ko
# sed -e 's/\xf3\x0c\x05\x30/\xf3\x0c\x05\xe0/g' btusb.ko > bt.ko
# mv at.ko ath3k.ko
# mv bt.ko btusb.ko
# gzip ath3k.ko
# gzip btusb.ko
# rmmod ath3k
# rmmod btusb
# modprobe btusb
# modprobe ath3k
