nicole added a comment to T23: PureOS 3 + Librem13 = NO BlueTooth.

That's pretty interesting!
It might even be that the "firmware" actually isn't real firmware but rather a set of config options. I have seen something like this for CSR based Bluetooth chips too. The settings would then also control the WiFi/Bluetooth coexistence which is probably the reason why it does not work w/o the blob in the Librems - the antenna switch does not switch it to the Bluetooth chip without it and thus the BT does not "see" any other devices around.
According to kernel sources our device is a
/* Atheros AR3012 with sflash firmware*/
The firmware it loads consists of two parts:
ramps_0x11020100_40.dfu
and
AthrBT_0x11020100.dfu
The "ramps" file is sysconfig the second is a RAM patch file for the in chip flash firmware.

People from thinkpenguin.com told me that in fact not all Qualcomm Atheros wireless combo cards require proprietary firmware for bluetooth to function. But with current distros you won't even notice that you have a card that doesn't need the firmware since the kernel wouldn't try anything without it… If you don't make the firmware available the driver (and not the firmware loading mechanism) will be disabled.

@d3vid Yes - although technically, you would also need to check the recommends of the whole dependency tree that pureos-gnome (or any other package) depends on.
If the package is in the Depends line, you will have it regardless of whether the installation is new, if it is just recommended it might only be present on new installations.

@guido Ubuntu's scripts have a less-generic name though - that's why debootstrap in Debian has "green" and the Tanglu distribution names ("chromodoris", etc.) but not "staging" (Tanglu's equivalent to "landing") - I assume the same will be true for the generic landing name.

I have the same trouble in the installed system. I've installed firmware-ath9k-htc; this has an htc_9271-1.dev.0.fw blob and also puts this in /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k_htc.conf:

however, the kernel is looking for htc_9271-1.4.0.fw and fails. I've tried linking the .dev.0.fw to .4.0.fw but it doesn't seem to work.
