Apparently in 14.10 the .hcd file needs to be /lib/firmware/brcm. Here is the .hcd file for the IOGEAR GBU521 (0a5c:21e8). Place it in /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM920702 Bluetooth 4.0-0a5c-21e8.hcd (Yes including the spaces in the file name)
modprobe -r btusb modprobe btusb Looks like it is successfully loading the firmware [513973.825046] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: patching hci_ver=06 hci_rev=153a lmp_ver=06 lmp_subver=220e [513974.598398] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: firmware hci_ver=06 hci_rev=153a lmp_ver=06 lmp_subver=220e If you have a different model you can find what the filename should be from syslog [513871.502139] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: patch brcm/BCM920702 Bluetooth 4.0-0a5c-21e8.hcd not found Note: the attached .hcd only works for the IOGEAR GBU521. You'll have to find and convert the .hex file for your specific model. ** Attachment added: "BCM920702 Bluetooth 4.0-0a5c-21e8.hcd" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1065400/+attachment/4292669/+files/BCM920702%20Bluetooth%204.0-0a5c-21e8.hcd -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065400 Title: Support for loading Broadcom bluetooth firmware To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1065400/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
