Tested with a: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0a5c:217f Broadcom Corp. BCM2045B (BDC-2.1) on 4.8.0-rc1+ #1 SMP Fri Aug 12 15:49:49 BST 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux which works fine if the datarate is not too high (approx 50kbps) but becomes unreliable at higher data rates. Decive discovery is also very reliable. With this dongle is close-ish to the kernel 3.x performance.

In the other 40% the rfcomm data is garbled. In the remaining 10% the data is fine. The bt device at the other end is an RN42 which transmits text data. When scanning for devices often the bt name is not displayed or is shown as unknown. It worked perfectly under the previous LTS (precise) which was a 32 bit version. The xenial I'm using now is a 64bit version. I've tried it on two computers and the behaviour is the same (both 64 bit versions) Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 Linux bp1-ThinkPad-X220 4.4.0-34-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 27 16:06:39 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: linux-image-4.4.0-31-generic 4.4.0-31.50 [modified: boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-31-generic] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-34.53-generic 4.4.15 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-34-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: bp1 3466 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Tue Aug 9 22:57:18 2016 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=8159b870-9b8b-418d-ba7f-681dacd3fb94 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-07-24 (16 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160719) MachineType: LENOVO 4291SX7 ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-34-generic root=UUID=a4df6be3-87d1-4a4f-8576-2c3fc031806e ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-4.4.0-34-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-4.4.0-34-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.157.2 SourcePackage: linux UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 07/18/2013 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 8DET69WW (1.39 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 4291SX7 dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Available dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr8DET69WW(1.39):bd07/18/2013:svnLENOVO:pn4291SX7:pvrThinkPadX220:rvnLENOVO:rn4291SX7:rvrNotAvailable:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 4291SX7 dmi.product.version: ThinkPad X220 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1611532/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
