Right. So we agree your patch should be applied by default to ath9k. Just as coexistence is enabled by default for Intel wifi. Unless someone more familiar with ath9k has a (better) reason otherwise... ** Summary changed: - Enable Bluetooth-Wifi coexistence by default [bluetooth audio and

The user won't probably want to do that: - The new default reduces the Wifi Speed only while bluetooth is actually trying to send (which isn't too often if the user isn't currently listening to Bluetooth audio) and - If Bluetooth/Wifi coecistence isn't enabled Bluetooth (when trying to send

We should indeed default to the configuration that is reliable. And if people want to switch to the less reliable, but faster, option then they still can. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu.

Kai, I don't have the ath9k hardware, but it sounds like that's a necessary evil... For Bluetooth users, halving the wifi speed is better than unreliable Bluetooth. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu.

Daniel, IIRC, on ath9k WiFi speed drops to halve once BT coexistence is enabled. Can you try if this is still the case? If not, we should send a patch to enable it as default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in

That probably won't help. The link in comment #5 seems to show the ath9k source in Linus' tree is still defaulting to btcoex_enable=0 bt_ant_diversity=0. At least I assume and hope uninitialized static variables in the kernel means they're reliably zero...? -- You received this bug notification

Please keep this bug about fixing the issue for ath9k wifi only. So this bug is not a duplicate of bug 405294. This bug is open and should be fixed in the kernel (package "linux"). ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 405294 A2DP Bluetooth audio skips terribly ["Skipping NNN us (= MMM

Also, if all you would like to change is kernel parameters: options ath9k btcoex_enable=1 bt_ant_diversity=1 then that's a kernel bug/enhancement. Not something that bluez should be involved in... It appears those two parameters are uninitialized by default (so default to zero/off??):
