#521 AR3011: "ath3k_load_firmware: Can't change to loading config

[quadrispro]

Hi,

on Debian an user reported us an odd issue with mtp-probe and a Bluetooth device:

This is my device:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0cf3:3000 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR3011 Bluetooth (no firmware)

It does not turn on and kern.log shows following errors:

[ 9.335184] ath3k_load_firmware: Can't change to loading configuration err
[ 9.335413] ath3k: probe of 1-1.3:1.0 failed with error -110
[ 9.335459] usbcore: registered new interface driver ath3k

Uninstalling libmtp-runtime (which is the binary package providing mtp-probe) the bug disappears.

The original report is available here:

OK I avoid probing any Atheros devices too then... hm, sigh I don't know what to
do about these things that keep creeping up.

On one hand I cannot probe any device, on the other hand everyone expects
them to be auto-detected...

I can confirm that this issue occurs on Ubuntu 12.04: https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/libmtp/+bug/975222

Is this OK in libmtp 1.1.3?

Worked for me with 1.1.3-2 in debian wheezy.
