Package: firmware-realtek Version: 0.44 Severity: wishlist There is an rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin file in the upstream linux-firmware repository (added in commit 8e181320b11de501046cf75c8c30915cd09a1e39), but it is not yet included in the firmware-realtek Debian package. On the other hand, the newest kernel package already contains the corresponding changes to make use of this firmware, so when I upgraded the kernel, my bluetooth controller stopped working. Excerpt from dmesg:
Bluetooth: hci0: rtl: examining hci_ver=06 hci_rev=000a lmp_ver=06 lmp_subver=8821 Bluetooth: hci0: rtl: loading rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin bluetooth hci0: firmware: failed to load rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin (-2) bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin failed with error -2 Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to load rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin Please include this file in the next package release. For good measure and in the interest of people using different hardware, the other firmware blobs from that commit should probably be added, too.
