According to a question in askubuntu (also best place of how the procedure to produce this .hcd files) http://askubuntu.com/questions/632336/bluetooth-broadcom-43142-isnt- working-on-ubuntu , there are some legal problems that don't allow this firmware files to be added to the Ubuntu installation Thanks a lot to @bertusrex on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2317843&p=13514092#post13514092 for getting into windows and getting us the firmware file. ** Attachment added: "version 481 of firmware bluetooth" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1589889/+attachment/4697483/+files/BCM-0a5c-6410_481.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589889 Title: Bluetooth search gets nothing on Dell XPS 15 9550 Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Title: Bluetooth search gets nothing on Dell XPS 15 9550 Summary: Bluetooth search gets nothing on Dell XPS 15 9550 Steps: 1.
