Bluetooth issues. Found solution thread. Need help applying it.

Arch can't find my bluetooth controller, as documented in my last post about it here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=174694 (That was 3 weeks ago, so I'm making a new post now.) Basically, I have the hardware (Bluetooth works in other OSs), but Arch has no idea.

After some more searching, I finally found someone with the same problem on AskUbuntu, with a potential solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/225208/b … n-bcm43228 However, I'm not really sure what's going on there.

* How can I find out the specifics about what hardware I have?

* And how do I interpret the output of usb-devices, below? The AskUbuntu thread says a couple of times "here's a key line", but I don't know how to recognize the key lines in my own outputs.

* How similar is my setup to the one on the AskUbuntu thread? Can I apply the solutions there to my own machine?

* That post is a year old. Has the patch the answerer mentioned been implemented into the linux kernel yet? (And am I be using a version of the kernel with that patch?)

* I'm not really excited about patching and compiling a kernel myself. Is there another way?

Some information about my machine:  When I made the old post, I was running the stock linux kernel. Since then, (in a failed attempt to fix a wifi problem, now solved), I installed the linux-ck kernel patch. However, I'm getting the same outputs for everything as I was 3 weeks ago.

Outputs:

Outputs for rfkill, hci*, and bluetoothctl are on the old post linked at the top of this post, but they give no relevant output (except "What you're talking about doesn't exist"). The bluetooth daemon is running, and I have all necessary packages installed (as shown at the end of the older post).

Re: Bluetooth issues. Found solution thread. Need help applying it.

Hello,

I may answer a bit late here but someone managed to help me on IRC while I was having the exact same problem. I don't think that it's needed to patch your Kernel since Arch provides the very last updated. The problem has gone from my side installing the `bluez-hid2hci` package then rebooting the computer. Hoping it can help you!

Have a nice day.
