Bug#801084: bluez-firmware: Please include firmware for Broadcom Corp. BCM20702 Bluetooth 4.0
Hi, This is still an issue. It works after manually copying the firmware found in [1]. However, the README of this repository warns that those firmwares might have vulnerabilities (such as CVE-2018-5383, CVE-2019-9506, CVE-2020-10135): including them in Debian non-free, may not be a great idea.

Bug#801084: bluez-firmware: Please include firmware for Broadcom Corp. BCM20702 Bluetooth 4.0
Hi, after upgrading from stretch to buster with bluez-firmware 1.2-4 the card stopped working for me, asking for brcm/BCM20702A0-0a5c-21e6.hcd. After copying https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/blob/master/brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e6.hcd to /lib/firmware/brcm and shutting down it now works again. ~ $ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version; sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 8DET76WW (1.46 ) 06/21/2018 ~ $ lsusb | grep Blue Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0a5c:21e6 Broadcom Corp.

Control: fixed -1 1.2-4 Control: tag -1 + stretch Hi, The exact same controller works on Buster, with bluez-firmware/1.2-4, so I am marking it as fixed there. Best, nicoo signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Package: bluez-firmware Version: 1.2-3 Severity: important Hi there, I have spent yesterday evening with trying to get my Bluetooth working. After several attempts (e.g. adding my uid to the "lp" group, because I got "DBusFailedError: No such file or directory" errors from blueman) I found the following in my 'dmesg' output: bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM20702A0-0a5c-21e6.hcd failed with error -2 Apparently, this file is missing for a proper operation of the Bluetooth dongle on my system. However, it is not available in any firmware package in Debian. Thus, I am asking you to add it to the bluez-firmware package which I find most appropriate for this. Having searched the web for this file name, I found the following site with instructions on how to download and install it: http://plugable.com/2014/06/23/plugable-usb-bluetooth-adapter-solving-hfphsp-profile-issues-on-linux Once I followed the instructions on this site, I could connect all my Bluetooth devices to my laptop. Some additional information: I am using a Lenovo ThinkPad T430. # dmidecode -s bios-version; dmidecode -s bios-release-date G1ETA6WW (2.66 ) 08/19/2014 $ lsusb | grep Blue Bus 003 Device 007: ID 0a5c:21e6 Broadcom Corp.
