Tweaks for Toshiba Satellite L15W-B (Radius) about rtl8723au_bt

[tapiama]

Thanks for sharing your experience. I have a different laptop (Yoga 13) with different config:

Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0bda:1724 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8723AU 802.11n WLAN Adapter

I read your post and thought I'd try that - instead of adding new entry 0bda:1724 to the blacklist, I moved the generic realtek line from blacklist to the btusb_table[] array

{ USB_VENDOR_AND_INTERFACE_INFO(0x0bda, 0xe0, 0x01, 0x01), .driver_info = BTUSB_REALTEK },

I've used lwfinger's modules for years, but after upgraded Ubuntu to 15.10 "new" branch no longer compile and I had to use the "kernel" branch and the above modification to make it work. There appear to be some differences between "kernel" and "new" branchs' btusb.c. If you device used to work by "new" branch, it doesn't hurt to cross-reference the old/new code. Good luck.

BTW, once bluetooth is up, under 15.10 I was able to pair and use my Bluetooth 4.0 (low-energy profile) micosoft designer mouse right from standard UI. Cool.. And both wifi/bluetooth works fine simultaneously with lwfinger's drivers (there was a question about that in another thread)

Hello!

I'm having the same problem you did. Is there any way this can be passed upstream, to be included in future updates? Having to patch this file every time it's updated would be a real bummer.

I'm thinking of just plugging a BT dongle into my Toshiba, as I don't have any experience with compiling things from source...

[lwfinger]

The patch has been sent upstream, but I have heard nothing since.

Hello!

I finally found what I needed on the Ubuntu forums. Bless the soul who created a PPA to handle this issue as new kernels arrive!

Sorry for commenting on an old issue.

But I wonder if the line { USB_DEVICE(0x0930, 0x0222), .driver_info = BTUSB_REALTEK }, has been added to the newer kernel, since my Bluetooth Realtek ID is 0930:0222 and I still have Bluetooth problem with kernel 5.10.34-1-MANJARO. I checked this link https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c?h=v5.12.4 and I did not found that line.

Any suggestions of what should I do?
Many thanks.

[lwfinger]

The USB vendor ID of 0x0930 belongs to Atheros, not Realtek. Are you sure that your BT device is made by Realtek?

@lwfinger
Thank you for replying. Yes, I'm pretty sure that my BT device is made by realtek. This is a picture of the back of my laptop,

I did not do any replacement to the bluetooth/WiFi hardware since I bought it, and one of my lsusb output returns Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0930:0222 Toshiba Corp. Bluetooth Radio

I'm so glad your post from 2015 was still up. Your solution worked perfectly! On the other hand, doing my first kernel recompile was, let's just say "a learning experience". I hope you see this post and feel my wireless gratitude.

[lwfinger]

I remember my first kernel build, but the kernel was a lot smaller. You are welcome.
