hi slaxmax:
The file AthrBT_0x31010000.dfu is part of the linux-firmware package. You should install that package.
this on gentoo forum,and installed seem that work.

--> Soft blocked: yes <--
Just to be sure, I assume you unblocked the bluetooth, right?
rfkill unblock all

sorry to butt in :D

I am mainly a gui guy so wonder if you can do the turn off/on bluetooth stuff fhru a gui like blueman?

also some laptops have a hardware button.....I have seen one on the top left hand corner of the acer aspire netwook and I would assume
laptops probably have a bios config for bluetooth as well?
