Bluetooth Adaptor not found Atheros AR3011

[dmbreton]

I did a fresh install of steam os and the bluetooth adapter is not found.

I did some research I and it looks like similar issues were found by other users, but after reviewing the code it looks like this should be patched.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Plagman]

If you're able to confirm that the single-line patch fixes the issue with our kernel, we'd gladly merge a pull request.

[dmbreton]

I did a quick code review and it looked like the patch is already included.

Isn't this a sub-issue of #52.
