Things already tried (to no much avail):
- Update BIOS to latest version
- Install "bluetooth" package
- Enable ath9k bt coexistence (as per
http://5thpeephole.blogspot.be/2013/10/install-ubuntu-1310-in-asus-n550jv.html)
- unload / reload ath3k module:
$ sudo modprobe -r ath3k; sleep 1; sudo modprobe ath3k
