dmesg reports that firmware for intel bluetooth is not found. I can confirm that linux-firmware is installed (iwlwifi is able to load its own) and the intel/ibt-hw-37* does exist in /lib64/firmware The bluetooth device appears to be working and can scan and see other bluetooth devices around it. So far I am able to connect to other linux boxes and send files via bluetooth. 01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 (rev 59) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 43 Memory at c1000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] Capabilities: [c8] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [d0] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [40] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >hciconfig -a hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: USB BD Address: 34:02:86:9E:E4:85 ACL MTU: 1021:5 SCO MTU: 96:6 UP RUNNING RX bytes:1277 acl:0 sco:0 events:79 errors:0 TX bytes:2569 acl:0 sco:0 commands:79 errors:0 Features: 0xff 0xfe 0x0f 0xfe 0xdb 0xff 0x7b 0x87 Packet type: DM1 DM3 DM5 DH1 DH3 DH5 HV1 HV2 HV3 Link policy: RSWITCH HOLD SNIFF Link mode: SLAVE ACCEPT Name: 'BlueZ 5.39' Class: 0x10010c Service Classes: Object Transfer Device Class: Computer, Laptop HCI Version: 4.0 (0x6) Revision: 0x1000 LMP Version: 4.0 (0x6) Subversion: 0x1000 Manufacturer: Intel Corp.

what is problem then?

is it compiled as a module?
(In reply to Alex Xu (Hello71) from comment #3) > is it compiled as a module? what is "it"? Are you asking if iwlwifi is compiled into the kernel? Yes Are you asking if the bluetooth stuff is compiled into the kernel? yes Are you asking if intel/ibt-hw-37.8.10-fw-1.10.3.11.e.bseq and/or intel/ibt-hw-37.8.bseq are compiled? They have been installed by emerging sys-kernel/linux-firmware, so I assume emerge has done what its suppose to do with them.
sure looks compiled >cat ibt-hw-37.8.bseq /�P-1�����{�@�▒ � �� � M� dȯ�a� Z��C�|/��
It looks like iwlwifi firmware is not loaded either. Are you booting with an initramfs ? Could you attach your kernel config (/proc/config.gz or /usr/src/linux/.config) ?

CONFIG_*IWL* =y
