I have Ubuntu 16.04 running on a sony vaio PCG61611U laptop.

I try to use bluetooth but it doesn't work.

lsmod |grep bluetooth

bluetooth             557056  9 btrtl,btintel,bnep,btbcm,btusb

lspci -knn | grep Net -A2; lsusb

I've tried this other question but it doesn't work yet.

Some Atheros wireless cards do not have the bluetooth option. If you can access the card by removing a panel on the bottom, the model number will tell you if it has bluetooth or not Atheros AR9285

The picture shows a model Atheros AR5B195 and this model has bluetooth, if your card shows AR5B95 then it will not have bluetooth. The picture shows both a MAC ID for wireless and BD ID for bluetooth. I have an Azurewave AR5B195 and the sticker is on the back side of the card
