Checking in the kernel sources (the drivers/bluetooth/ath3k.c file) I
find that error message originates from the ath3k_load_patch()
function and that, in turn, is called from the ath3k_probe() function.

In reviewing the code I also see references to the required firmware
file, ath3k-1.fw

A quick check of the ath3k.ko module confirms that requirement --

[code]
[Duo2 ~]$ modinfo -F firmware
/lib/modules/3.14.0-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/ath3k.ko
ath3k-1.fw
[Duo2 ~]$
[/code]

So, as a first step, I would recommend that you download the
ath3k-1.fw file from
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/
and copy it to your /lib/firmware/ directory and then re-test.

Please see if there is any change in the messages, then displayed.

Alan.
