for a few days, I have been struggling to enable Bluetooth module on my Asus Vivo PV VC60 nettop, and I feel that I need some help from the wisdom of the crowd...
My nettop has a Wifi module which also supposed to support Bluetooth 4.0. On the sticker on the bottom of the nettop Wifi adapter model described as Lite-On WCBN612AH-AD 2ANT (however the internet knows nothing about such adapter model)
I am currently running Debian Jessie on this nettop, and judging on bash commands output (provided below) BT should work, but it neither discoverable nor can discover any other devices.
I tried to look for drivers for this device and found information only on similar model https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Lite-On_WCBN612AH-H1 ,however, it seems that I have ath9k installed and running already.
Also, I have found a kind of similar situation on Ubuntu forum https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2260501 , but once again it seems that there should be a driver for my device + I was not able to find any .cab files for download.
Unlikely BT, WiFi is working smoothly, I was able to set up and run WiFi hotspot. I haven't try to boot in any other OS yet on this nettop, so I don't know if BT works there.
So here is my set up:
