I can confirm that this bug in also present in Linux Mint 17.2 (based upon Ubuntu 14.04) as early as August 25th 2015. I can also confirm that the previous workaround worked works like a charm. Seems that the weird behavior is somewhat related to the Centrino wireless adapter...
Thanks, Julian Alarcon (alarconj), sir. Thank you for share that workaround with us. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219057 Title: Bluetooth does not coexist with WiFi Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On my system bluetooth and wifi are unusable together. I have a built- in CSR-based bluetooth module in my laptop, and an Atheros wifi. Wifi transfers slow to a halt whenever there is BT traffic. For example, if I play a music file from another machine through the network using a BT headset, only the first few seconds of the file will play until the player runs out of buffered data. No further data is downloaded. Web pages also do not download, and I even lose connection to AP from time to time. At the same time, it looks like AFH is trying to work. If I monitor the value returned by 'hcitool afh', it changes. But this seems to have little effect on connection quality. Is this a problem with my hardware, or the AFH implementation? Is there a way to force bluetooth to not use the channels in use by WiFi?
