[Bug 219057] Re: Bluetooth does not coexist with WiFi

[Stuart Brown]

Using Ubuntu 16.04 (clean install, currently fully updated) on a Dell
XPS. It took me a while to uncover this problem because initially I
thought it only part of the issue of getting a Microsoft Arc Touch
Bluetooth Mouse to work. I succeeded in doing the latter, only to find
that my WiFi had frozen. Rebooted the router, rebooted the computer,
with the mouse turned off. So far, so good. Connected the mouse - works;
but locks up the WiFi.

I disconnected the mouse, WiFi works immediately, no need for reboot in
my case. Connected my phone (Sony Xperia Z); phone connects, WiFi
freezes. Disconnected the phone, WiFi works immediately.

This is the only thread I have been able to find that deals at any
length with the subject. To suggest that this is not important or of low
priority is, I suggest, missing the point entirely. At least two members
of my family use bluetooth keyboards with SmartPhones. Canonical has
aspirations to carve out a niche in the SmartPhone market. I suggest
they solve this problem pretty quickly if they want to stand any chance
of doing that. I acquired the bluetooth mouse on the recommendation of
my son: it took me long enough to get that to work and now I face this
issue. Seriously unimpressed. Been using Ubuntu since 8.04 so not a
newbie.
