Package: firmware-iwlwifi
Followup-For: Bug #887932
I’d like to add that upgrading
from stretch (20161130-3) to buster (20170823-1)
broke bluetooth on my machine.
I suspect the symptoms were different —
I don’t use GNOME, but ‘hciconfig -a’ did report my Bluetooth adapter.
However, ‘bluetoothctl’ would fail unpredictably in a couple places:
1. On a fresh boot with no devices connected,
I could ‘power on’, ‘scan on’, and even sometimes ‘pair ’,
but ‘connect ’ would time out (‘hci0 command tx timeout’).
2. But more often, I could only ‘power on’ and ‘scan on’,
and then ‘devices’ always turned up empty.
I have an Intel 8260 WiFi/Bluetooth adapter (from a ThinkPad T460).
Downgrading to the stretch version (20161130-3) fixes the problem.
