I apologize for taking so long to reply. I have reinstalled the newer version of libmtp-runtime (1.1.3-x) and I confirm that now firmware to the atheros bluetooth is loaded correctly. I haven't tried any new firmware (in fact, as far asI know the firmware patch never made into Debian). This is with current stock wheezy kernel and firmware. I think this bug can be closed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
