I had this same issue with an IOGear USB Bluetooth 4.0 adapter: Bus 006 Device 019: ID 0a5c:21e8 Broadcom Corp.
I built and installed the brcm_patchram_plus_usb tool, used hex2hcd to convert the firmware (extracted from the driver CD included with the adapter - first time I've used one of those in awhile), and it made my HSP profile Bluetooth headset work (a Plantronics Discovery 975) where I only got silence before. Guessing this device's ID needs to be added to the kernel as well. I did drop the firmware file into my /lib/firmware directory as fw-0a5c_21e8.hcd as well. I'm running Mint 15 (based on raring). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065400 Title: Support for loading Broadcom bluetooth firmware To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1065400/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
