Bluetooth driver Asus AT3N7A-I NVidia ION Ubuntu 9.04

Hi all,

My Asus AT3N7A-I on-board bluetooth won't be recognized on Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit. Can you please give me some hints? Here is some addition info:

Note: A simple Trust USB bluetooth adapter works fine, but the on-board won't...

Any ideas?

Is bluetooth enabled in bios ?

Onboard Bluetooth [Enabled]
Allows you to enable or disable the onboard Bluetooth controller.
Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]

But the there seems to be some issue's with windows aswell. http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=3630

BTW Found this thread because I was acquiring information about the Asus AT3N7A-I and linux compatibility . Apart from the bluetooth does everything else works ?

Thanks for your reply. Yes, bluetooth is enabled in the BIOS.

I'm currently looking for a bluetooth solution for Windows 7 RC1 as well, because I can't get it up and running. The rest of the hardware is fully operational with Windows 7 RC1.

I'm also fighting with HDMI audio and bluetooth with Ubuntu 9.04. I tried the following drivers from the NVidia site, all with the same problem:
Linux Display Driver Version 190.32 BETA
Linux Display Driver Version 185.18.36
I'd like to use this motherboard as a HTPC, but I can't use it as long as HDMI does not work with Ubuntu. The onboard 3,5mm jack audio sounds crap, so that's not a solution. I'll keep it dual boot for the time being.

Hi all,

i recently bought this Board to build a Linux-based HTPC. As i can say the only thing that refused to work is the "onboard" bluetooth.
BT support is enabled in bios and activated in kernelconfig. However i did not test an other bt dongle now.

The Device seems to be the Atheros found in lsusb:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0cf3:3000 Atheros Communications, Inc.

The inf from the Windowsdriver downloaded from Asus shows the same ID 0cf3.
I searched a lot and found that there is a AT3011 Chipset since 2007 that should work with the standard HCI Kernel Layer.

Can someone verify that the Hardware is working on the Windows-Plattform with the Asus Driver?

By the Way: The Sound from the 3,5 Jack sound well for me, try to update to the latest kernel, there is much work done to the HD audio Driver.

3,5mm jack audio isn't an option for me either, but for the hdmi issues good chance that you might want to opt for a newer alsa version see here and for the usb ids you might want to run sudo update-usbids.
