Dear all, (debian/sid) Because I had this error in journalctl: Mar 09 15:17:09 pluto kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: BCM20702A Mar 09 15:17:09 pluto kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: BCM20702A1 (001.002.014) build 0000 Mar 09 15:17:09 pluto kernel: bluetooth hci0: firmware: failed to load brcm/ BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e6.hcd (-2) Mar 09 15:17:09 pluto kernel: bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for brcm/ BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e6.hcd failed with error -2 Mar 09 15:17:09 pluto kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: Patch brcm/ BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e6.hcd not found
And because my BT was working... But not so well... And after taking advices on #debian-next... (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=831592) I followed the instructions there: https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware and simply copied the file: BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e6.hcd there: /lib/firmware/brcm ===== After that, and some reboot, I didn't have any bluetooth at all anymore: The only thing BT in journalctl was: May 30 17:18:03 pluto dbus[416]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out And no trace anymore of the mere string "BCM20702" (ignore case option...) I did even thought that it had "burnt" my chipset ===== So I removed the file BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e6.hcd altogether, And rebooted, And now I do have BT again; Though minimalist and not working well... (actually can't be used, broken; can be use 1 minute, with difficulties...) ===== I would appreciate help to have that working. Best, Chris
