Public bug reported:
linux-firmware 20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu1 used by Ubuntu 22.04 does not
contain drivers for some Atheros WiFi/Bluetooth chipsets, which were included
in the previous Ubuntu releases.
The package is missing some files from
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree,
specifically:
- ar3k (whole directory, was present in impish, missing in jammy)
- ar*.fw - firmware for AR7010, AR9170 and AR9271 (can't find in the impish
version)
Because of that Bluetooth can't be enabled and WiFi is unstable on
devices equipped with Atheros chipsets. In my case the following errors
are reported by dmesg:
[ 3.653613] usb 1-1.1: Direct firmware load for ar3k/AthrBT_0x11020000.dfu
failed with error -2
[ 3.653619] Bluetooth: Patch file not found ar3k/AthrBT_0x11020000.dfu
[ 3.653626] Bluetooth: Loading patch file failed
[ 3.653631] ath3k: probe of 1-1.1:1.0 failed with error -2
