Bug#777759: linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64: When I use bluetooth speakers for audio output Wi-Fi stops working
The upstream maintainer closed the bug because he's sure he won't find
the time to fix it (see upstream bug report). He added the following
info to Linux Wireless wiki:
"Having bluetooth and WiFi running at the same time is a challenge.
These scenarios have been tested thoroughly on 7260 and up, less so on
earlier devices. This is why some people may face issues with devices
that are handled by iwldvm (pre-7260). For users of these devices who
have problems when WiFi and Bluetooth are running concurrently, we
suggest to disable BT Coex by loading iwlwifi with bt_coex_active=0 as a
module parameter."
I don't know how to proceed in this matter. If option bt_coex isn't
tested thoroughly on earlier devices and breaks Wi-Fi connections in
some cases – maybe it would be a good idea to disable it in debian?
