[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#801084: regression from jessie

[Juha Jäykkä]

Hi!

I upgraded from jessie to stretch a few days ago and bluetooth stopped 
working. With some digging around, it seems I'm affected by this bug.

The trouble is exacerbated by the fact that the firmware file from the github 
link does not work on my bt adapter. It loads fine, no error messages, no 
nothing. No working hci0 either.

I actually get a hci0:

hci0:	Type: Primary  Bus: USB
	BD Address: 34:23:87:FF:76:12  ACL MTU: 1021:8  SCO MTU: 64:1
	DOWN 
	RX bytes:3374 acl:0 sco:0 events:409 errors:0
	TX bytes:36217 acl:0 sco:0 commands:408 errors:0

but it cannot be brought up:

# hciconfig hci0 up
Can't init device hci0: Invalid request code (56)
#

Cheers,
Juha
