I did this morning. unfortunately some strange side effect has completely disabled the bluetooth. I dont even see the Ubuntu bluetooth item on the wifi drop down menu at the upper right on the Gnome desktop. I have tried everything to "enable" bluetooth but to no avail.
it seems the problem is now worse. any ideas? thanks rich On Fri, May 5, 2017 at 6:13 AM, Cruz Fernandez <cruz.fernan...@gmail.com> wrote: > @painterengr have you tried to download the file from somewhere else? > https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/blob/master/brcm/ > BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e6.hcd > > Hope this is not infringing any legal issues > > Le ven. 5 mai 2017 à 04:49, Jesse Sung <1065...@bugs.launchpad.net> a > écrit : > > > @painterengr, sorry #165 is not a reply to your comment.
