Bug#1087326: firmware-realtek: RTL8723CS not usable on PinePhone with firmware config provided by 20240909-2
Package: firmware-realtek
Version: 20240909-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
after upgrading to firmware-realtek version 20240909-2 and migrating
from firmware-realtek-rtl8723cs-bt to firmware-realtek I've noticed,
that Bluetooth is only partially working. 'bluetoothctl show' displays
information about controller, but neither scans, nor connection to
external devices work. That was tested with unpatched Linux kernel
v6.12-rc6 and rc7 on PinePhone.
I've replaced rtl8723bs_config.bin with rtl8723cs_xx_config.bin from
the old firmware-realtek-rtl8723cs-bt package and Bluetooth started to
work again.
There was discussion about possible regression in [1] already.
I've raised issue on linux-kernel mailing list as well. [2]
