Bluetooth Driver for Toshiba
For the life of me,I cannot get bluetooth working on my Toshiba laptop.Which is strange because one a previous Toshiba laptop I owned, it worked fine. I have tried using both Blueman and Blueberry and neither have worked. Can anyone point me to a driver that will fix this? Thanks.

Re: Bluetooth Driver for Toshiba
Try a shutdown and a cold boot and see if the results of the command is the same

Re: Bluetooth Driver for Toshiba
Lets try a different file
Shutdown and boot it up
Code: Select all
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/97asfkhlbl74m9y/BCM.hcd
Code: Select all
sudo cp BCM.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM.hcd
Re: Bluetooth Driver for Toshiba
It worked briefly. I was connected, playing music, etc. then the connection was dropped (same experience for two speakers). Then they simply would not connect anymore. I rebooted everything. I tried to different bluetooth applications, I removed and re-paired the devices (which would pair but not connect). When it was working, the connection was unstable anyway. I appreciate your help but this is no longer worth my effort. What a ridiculous pain in the ass actually. Thanks again for you help though.
