Hello, This is also what I am dealing with right now. My computer fails to load three files; rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw_wowlan.bin rtl_bt/rtl8821a_config.bin rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin
Even though, rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin can be located in /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/ and rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw_wowlan.bin can be located in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/ . For the completeness "dmesg | grep firmware" gives me this; [ 11.605280] rtl8821ae: Using firmware rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw.bin [ 11.605290] rtl8821ae: Using firmware rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw_wowlan.bin [ 11.630704] rtl8821ae 0000:02:00.0: firmware: failed to load rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw_wowlan.bin (-2) [ 11.630712] rtl8821ae 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw_wowlan.bin failed with error -2 [ 11.642658] rtl8821ae 0000:02:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw.bin [ 12.685508] bluetooth hci0: firmware: failed to load rtl_bt/rtl8821a_config.bin (-2) [ 12.685511] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for rtl_bt/rtl8821a_config.bin failed with error -2 [ 12.685526] bluetooth hci0: firmware: failed to load rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin (-2) [ 12.685527] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin failed with error -2 [ 23.375275] r8169 0000:03:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware rtl_nic/rtl8106e-1.fw Best, Altug On Wed, 09 May 2018 12:51:31 +0200 Francisco M Neto <fmn...@gmail.com> wrote: > This happens on my machine as well. > > I'm running buster with 4.16 kernel and firmware-realtek is installed. > It seems that this file should be in the package but it hasn't been > include for some reason, even though it is available from https://githu > b.com/lwfinger/rtl8723au_bt/. > > Installing the file on /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/ solves the issue. > > > On Fri, 23 Mar 2018 19:02:48 +0100 "Rathorian" <cont...@rathorian.fr> > wrote: > > Package: firmware-realtek > > Version: 20161130-3 > > Severity: important > > > > Dear Maintainer, > > > > Every time I start Debian, I get an error message saying: > > "bluetooth hci0: firmware: failed to load rtl_bt/rtl8821a_config.bin" > > > > I have also tried to install the package since stretch-backports, > without > > any success. > > > > Cordially > > Rathorian > > > > -- System Information: > > Debian Release: 9.4 > > APT prefers stable-updates > > APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') > > Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) > > > > Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) > > Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), > > LANGUAGE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) > > Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash > > Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) > > > > firmware-realtek depends on no packages. > > > > firmware-realtek recommends no packages. > > > > Versions of packages firmware-realtek suggests: > > ii initramfs-tools 0.130 > > > > -- no debconf information > > > -- > -- > []s, > > Francisco M Neto > >
