How can I insert the file AthrBT_0x31010100.dfu into initramfs?
Maybe that question is more appropriate in the Install/Boot/Login forum, so I made it there:
I successfully added the files AthrBT_0x31010100.dfu and ramps_0x31010100_40.dfu to the initramfs:
$ man dracut.conf
...
install_items+=" <file> <file> ...] "
Specify additional files to include in the initramfs, separated by spaces.
...
# nano /etc/dracut.conf.d/01-bluetooth.conf
force_drivers+="ath3k btusb"
install_items+="/lib/firmware/ar3k/AthrBT_0x31010100.dfu /lib/firmware/ar3k/ramps_0x31010100_40.dfu"
# reboot
Now, it does not complain about missing files anymore, and it seems my Bluetooth adapter is correctly identified:

During this boot, my Bluetooth adapter was disconnected twice!
Also, I’m not able to use it. GNOME says there is no Bluetooth found. Indeed, it is not listed by lsusb:

Do you have any idea on why that is happening? And/or what could I try next?
Considering how much time (man-hour) I spent trying to make my built-in Bluetooth adapter work on Linux, I decided it would be cheaper and faster to buy an USB adapter that actually works on Linux. So, I went out home with my laptop, tested an USB adapter and bought it. It is really small and cheap, it costed me R$ 30,00 (something between $9 and $10, according to today’s exchange rates). It is able to transfer files and play music. Its package says Babbage Bluetooth Version 3.0 BM-BT01, it was made in China. On lsusb, it shows as Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode):

It does not work flawlessly, as I think it should be. Pairing works on a trial and error basis, but once devices are paired, they work as expected. At least now I have a Bluetooth adapter that works on Linux.
Anyways, I’m very thankful @Sauerland for the time you spent trying to help me and giving me directions. Thank you.
Curiously, last Friday night (Sep 15), on a trial and error basis to pair my USB Bluetooth adapter (remember, 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio) to a Bluetooth headset (a Philips SHB3060), I realized I removed the USB adapter and Bluetooth was still turned on, so I actually paired my headset to the built-in Bluetooth adapter (remember, 04ca:3014 Qualcomm Atheros Bluetooth 4.0). I watched a 1 hour video that way.
Unfortunately, I rebooted to see if the built-in Bluetooth adapter came up during boot, but that didn’t happen. So I lost the opportunity to better investigate how it was working.
Today, after a zypper up, I disconnected every USB device (e.g. mouse and USB Bluetooth adapter), I disconnected even the power cable, I’m just with the laptop, and rebooted.

See that now my built-in Bluetooth adapter shows as an USB device. But if I try to use Bluetooth, GNOME says “No Bluetooth Found / Plug in a dongle to use Bluetooth.” Also, bluetoothctl shows no adapter:
# bluetoothctl
[bluetooth]# list
[bluetooth]# quit
Is there any chance I can make it work? Thank you!
I had a similar problem, I solved it by blacklisting acer-wmi and updating the kernel to hwe.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/791785/qualcomm-atheros-bluetooth-4-0-not-working-on-ubuntu-16-04/964350#964350
Thank you, @kugland! I’ve done on openSUSE something similar to what you’ve done on Ubuntu / Linux Mint and it worked for me too! lol!
Let me quote you here:
After fiddling with this problem for quite some time, I found this solution:
Install linux-generic-hwe-16.04 to get a more recent kernel, because 04ca:3014 was added in version 4.6.
Then I noticed that ID 04ca:3014 Lite-On Technology Corp. was being disconnected after loading acer_wmi, so I blacklisted it:
/etc/modprobe.d/btconfig.conf
blacklist acer_wmi
And that’s it, it became functional.
Also, I think it is better to add btcoex_enable=1 and bt_ant_diversity=1 to ath9k, which I added to that same file:
options ath9k btcoex_enable=1 bt_ant_diversity=1
Then run update-initramfs -c -k all and reboot.
What I did, “translating” to the openSUSE world, was:
- I installed the latest kernel-default and kernel-firmware packages available from the Kernel:stable OBS repo
# zypper --no-ref info kernel-defaultLoading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Information for package kernel-default:
---------------------------------------
Repository : kernel-stable
Name : kernel-default
Version : 4.13.6-1.1.g5a88d59
Arch : x86_64
Vendor : obs://build.opensuse.org/Kernel
Installed Size : 314.7 MiB
Installed : Yes
Status : up-to-date
Source package : kernel-default-4.13.6-1.1.g5a88d59.nosrc
Summary : The Standard Kernel
Description :
The standard kernel for both uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems.

Information for package kernel-firmware:
----------------------------------------
Repository : kernel-stable
Name : kernel-firmware
Version : 20170906-35.1
Arch : noarch
Vendor : obs://build.opensuse.org/Kernel
Installed Size : 202.8 MiB
Installed : Yes
Status : up-to-date
Source package : kernel-firmware-20170906-35.1.src
Summary : Linux kernel firmware files
Description :
This package contains the firmware for in-kernel drivers that was
previously included in the kernel. It is shared by all kernels >=
2.6.27-rc1.
- I blacklisted the acer_wmi kernel module and added that setting to the ath9k kernel module, as you suggested:
# nano /etc/modprobe.d/btconfig.conf
blacklist acer_wmi
options ath9k btcoex_enable=1 bt_ant_diversity=1
- I updated the initramfs file:
# dracut -f
- I rebooted into the new kernel:
# reboot
Then, as a test, I was able to pair my laptop to my Bluetooth headset and listen to a song.
I’m very thankful for your and @Sauerland’s efforts. Now, I can use my laptop’s built-in Bluetooth and my USB dongle (0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio) is free to be used on another computer.
I’m not sure past actions helped me achieve the final result, so I’m going to add as much diagnostic information as I can about my setup, just in case anyone else in the future needs to make that Bluetooth adapter work.

Now, information from the openSUSE side.
I’m using kernel-default 4.13.6 (latest stable up to now according to kernel.org) and kernel-firmware from the Kernel:stable OBS repo:

Also, I forgot to mention, but I installed all the updates available via zypper dup (I believe this is a good practice, somehow assumed obvious)

Also, I’m forcing btusb and ath3k kernel modules to be loaded earlier, right at boot time, using initramfs:
# cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/01-bluetooth.conf
force_drivers+="ath3k btusb"
install_items+="/lib/firmware/ar3k/AthrBT_0x31010100.dfu /lib/firmware/ar3k/ramps_0x31010100_40.dfu"
And blacklisting the acer_wmi module:
# cat /etc/modprobe.d/btconfig.conf
blacklist acer_wmi
options ath9k btcoex_enable=1 bt_ant_diversity=1
Hope that can help someone someday. Again, thank you once more!
