Subject: ath3k: asus bluetooth dongle won't work

Running on Debian Wheezy (3.2.0-1-amd64), my new Asus bluetooth
dongle didn't work. Made sure and get the correct firmware, but
the driver does not load it correctly.

[ 8.364186] Bluetooth: Can't change to loading configuration err
[ 8.364263] ath3k: probe of 2-4.3:1.0 failed with error -110
[ 8.364300] usbcore: registered new interface driver ath3k


This is from a cold (power off) boot, but it happens repeatedly.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0cf3:3000 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR3011 Bluetooth (no firmware)

Yes. Do have latest firmware. It looks like there is some USB
or kernel issue.

They have been poked (its not me but I poked some internal folks). In the
meantime, stephen do you have the latest firmware? For what its worth the
documentation to this driver is at:

then you need to track down the Atheros guys. Not my driver or
hardware ;)

Already covered that.

It is failing here where it sends the firmware.

memcpy(send_buf, firmware->data, 20);
if ((err = usb_control_msg(udev, pipe,
USB_REQ_DFU_DNLOAD,
USB_TYPE_VENDOR, 0, 0,
send_buf, 20, USB_CTRL_SET_TIMEOUT)) < 0) {
BT_ERR("Can't change to loading configuration err");
goto error;
}

you need to ask Atheros for details, but maybe just the firmware file is
missing.
