I don’t know how long this have been happening, but I noticed a couple days ago so I decided today to fix it so any help would be appreciated 
Whenever my laptop is booting, it says it couldn’t load bluetooh and the bluetooh settings says there are no dongles found. However I do have an internal bluetooth card on my laptop, it’s just the driver fails to load. Here’s a copy of dmesg:
jc@linux-p4b9:~> dmesg | grep Bluetooth

I think the problem is around the “Patch file not found ar3k/AthrBT_0x00000200.dfu” and the fact bluetooth uses ath3k may be conflicting with the ath10k required for my wireless card maybe? If that’s the problem I’m confused and I don’t know what to do next, any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

Hi
Is the kernel-firmware package installed/updated?
