Description David Barton 2014-11-18 11:16:57 UTC
Description of problem:

Once switched on, bluetooth repeatedly switches on and off again. I'm running Fedora 21 (beta) with all updates applied (as of 2014-11-18). Kernel version 3.17.3-300.fc21.x86_64. 

The report from dmesg is 

[ 2743.244014] usb 1-1.6: new full-speed USB device number 110 using ehci-pci
[ 2743.334358] usb 1-1.6: New USB device found, idVendor=0930, idProduct=0213
[ 2743.334366] usb 1-1.6: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[ 2743.334370] usb 1-1.6: Product: BRCM Bluetooth Controller BCM2070
[ 2743.334375] usb 1-1.6: Manufacturer: Broadcom Corp
[ 2743.334378] usb 1-1.6: SerialNumber: 4CEDDE03953D
[ 2745.429025] toshiba_bluetooth: Re-enabling Toshiba Bluetooth
[ 2745.626831] usb 1-1.6: USB disconnect, device number 110
[ 2745.864280] usb 1-1.6: new full-speed USB device number 111 using ehci-pci
[ 2745.987728] usb 1-1.6: New USB device found, idVendor=0930, idProduct=0213

which repeats continuously. I ended up having to blacklist the toshiba_bluetooth module which obviously renders bluetooth inoperable.

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on bluetooth
2. Turn on feature to receive files (may not be necessary)

I have a similar issue with a new Toshiba laptop.

It will only happen when bluetooth is turned OFF, and regardless of the distro (Redhat, Arch, Debian...) and desktop environment (Gnome 3, Xfce).

Basically, toshiba_bluetooth keeps switching the device on and off continuosly, filling the logs like this: http://pastebin.com/npcBtHZY

Steps to reproduce:
1. Turn off bluetooth
2. Check dmesg

No reply, no updates... is there any chance of seeing a fix for this?

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There are a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 21 kernel bugs.

Fedora 21 has now been rebased to 3.18.3-201.fc21.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.
