Hi all!
I have been lurking for a while now, following the development of Trisquel 8.
Does flidas come with bluetooth support out of the box? I have a Qualcomm
Atheros AR9462 card and it has me a little bit confused, supposedly this card
should have functional WiFi and Bluetooth without anything special, however
Debian still requires the non-free firmware to get bluetooth from it, while
the live session of Trisquel 7 detects there is bluetooth, however I am not
able to test it because of a bug that disables my touchpad (I don't have a
wired mouse to test) and I couldn't find a way to do it via keyboard, I tried
the live session of Trisquel 8 and it didn't pick up anything related with
bluetooth, I superficially looked around I didn't found anything related to
bluetooth installed, is blueman installed? does MATE have its own bluetooth
setup tool? has anybody tested AR9462 in recent releases of Linux-libre?
ThinkPenguin has the following note:
"Almost all recently released distributions are compatible. The bluetooth may
not work however on some versions of Parabola GNU/Linux-Libre. A bug was
introduced with some kernel(s) that effectively disabled the driver rather
than just the loading of non-free firmware for which is not needed for this
particular card"
Cheers.
