I've installed firmware-linux-nonfree, but I still can't use Bluetooth. All of the programs (e.g. bluetoothctl) complain about there being "no default controller" whenever I try to do anything related to Bluetooth.



The label on the laptop says "intel inside" so I tried installing the firmware-iwlwifi package; that doesn't seem to have done anything.



How do I fix this problem?

          This took a while to find the solution to. I eventually found the solution on Debian Forum .DE:




          Aber ist die richtige Firmware bei firmware-atheros denn dabei? ich habe da auf die schnelle nix von AR9565 gefunden. — debianoli




          Translated (badly):




          But is the right firmware in firmware-atheros doing it? I found here in the quick 'nix(?) from/to AR9565.




          To conclude: despite not reporting itself to Debian as an Atheros Bluetooth Radio, nor being listed in the laptop's specification, the firmware-atheros package contains the magical ability to make the C50-B's Bluetooth radio talk to Debian.
