Hi Graham,

Quoted 12 lines · Graham Burnside

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had had a look into or discussed this wifi / bluetooth combo card with ralink? It came present in my new HP laptop, so I'm guessing its quite common.

I have the wifi working perfectly from the rt2x00 backports, but can't find any mention of the bluetooth device. I have also emailed ralink, so will post anything useful back here.

Details as follows:

           +-1c.0-[01]--+-00.0  Ralink corp. Device 3290
           |                        \-00.1  Ralink corp. Device 3298

You are saying that you don't even see the device with 'hciconfig', right?

So please post the output of /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices for the bluetooth device here so we can more information about this device.

Gustavo

Hi,

Thanks for the interest Gustavo. I'm running Debian wheezy, there is no device found on loading the 3.2, or 3.7 kernel.

On the 3.2 kernel, rfkill gives:

0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

The hardware switch gives hard-lock on and off for both the hp-wifi & hp-bluetooth. But neither device work.

Using a backported driver for rt2x00 gets the rt3290 device working fine.

hciconfig gives no ouput.

The directory /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices does not exist. I'm not sure what else might be useful?

Here is the relevant output from lspci -v (note there is no kernel driver being loaded for the bluetooth device).

The device is indeed PCI and different to anything else in the world. It doesn't use the normal HC commands. The registers are not documented. I am afraid you are out of luck with this device.

Thanks for the feedback.
I guess I'm at the mercy of ralink.

I noticed there is another ralink combo chip (5390). Is this also lacking support?

If anyone is interested I came across this driver, from the system builder zotac,
