[Bug 1264311] Re: BCM43142 bluetooth adapter not finding any bluetooth devices

[Michael]

I got a Broadcom BCM43142 adapter in my Lenovo notebook and currently I am at a loss getting bluetooth to work with kernels later than 3.13.0-44-generic builds.
The ID of the bluetooth component is 105b:e065 and with a 3.13.0-44 kernel putting the file fw-105b_e065.hcd into /lib/firmware/ does the trick. However, any later kernels I have tried so far up to 4.2.0-19-generic fail to load the bluetooth driver. 
Morever, I have tried to rename the firmware file to BCM43142A0-105b-e065.hcd and putting it into /lib/firmware/brcm in vain.  I just can't get it to work.

What specifically is wrong with those later kernels making them fail to
load? What can I do to fix it? And will it ever be fixed?

Maybe Pilot6 can enlighten me about the root of the problem, as he seems
to have figured something out.
