Hello All.
I have a Acer Aspire v3-571g laptop. it has *AR9462 chipset.

Bluetooth doesn’t work well.I have tested it with my handset and other handsets.
It couldn’t be neither found by other bluetooth devices or find other devices. I’m using Opensuse 12.2.Kernel 3.4.11. Even tested it with 3.6.7 and nothing differs.
I works so well in window$ and there’s no problem.

Any solutions?
Any help?

Hi
Does the notebook device show bluetooth (icon) present?

What desktop are you running?

How do you mean tested?

Do you see output from;


hcitool dev
hcitool scan

If not, install rfkill and run the command;


rfkill list

I m running both KDE and gnome. both shows bluetooth icon
hcitool dev show one device with it’s mac address and hcitool scan shows nothing. KDE 4.9.3 and Gnome 3.4.

i have tested the hardware with windows$ and it works perfect.i mean it’s no hardware fault.

I don’t generally use bluetooth connectivity (except for my iPhone and my hands-free device in my vehicle), but for reference, I just tested with

dean@linux-akl:~> hcitool dev
Devices:
        hci0    00:1E:37:B5:D4:B7
dean@linux-akl:~> hcitool scan
Scanning ...

However, when I went to my phone’s bluetooth menu, then performed another scan I now got

dean@linux-akl:~> hcitool scan
Scanning ...

Maybe you need to do similar with your device first.

Thanks dude.but it’s not the suse problem. it’s kernel or kernel firmware problem.i have googled ,found that others have similar problems in ubuntu,mint and others with their ar9462 bluetooth chipset.
