There hasn't been a bluez update to 16.04 since last year. And here hasn't been a kernel update to 16.04 since last month; the same goes for linux-firmware. So I'm not sure what changed for you Zero. Are you using 16.04? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

I guess the next step would be to try and find that 'rtl8821a_config.bin'. Although I don't know where to get it. It's certainly missing from the 'linux-firmware' package, which is where I would expect to see it. ** Changed in: bluez (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New ** Changed in: linux
