![]() UPDATE (1): I've got better results with Arch Linux and Bluez5. I'm seriously considering going that route also.īut then again: this device seems to work with much less hassle in Windows. In researching these issues, I came across posts marked, where the proposed workaround included purchasing a different adapter and being done with this Broadcom nonesense. Now, for anyone that reads this: This Broadcom card is a pain in the ass for Linux users.I've had nothing but trouble with this thing under Linux and it has poor performance (poor reception, dropping connections) in Windows as well. Marquette wskellenger # service bluetooth restart I didn't care about wifi anymore.īasically it instructs you to install this package:īt-bcm43142-onereic_0.0+20111116somerville2_bĪnd after restarting the bluetooth daemon, I was in business: In fact, all I was trying to do was get back to the performance from last night, where Bluetooth pairing worked. After all, it worked last night! I tried un-installing the driver, re-installing the kernel, rebooting several times, but no dice, I could not get bluetooth to recognize anything at all.

I used this file (available at the above linked thread):īcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.141+bdcom-0ubuntu1_b The long and short of it is, for this card I've only found that the "wl" kernel module will work to support this thing. This thread was the most help in solving that problem. Jump forward about 18 hours and I started working on the wifi issue. I was able to pair devices and everything was spendid.Īt this point I just went to bed, I was tired of messing with this and it was about midnight or so. ![]()
