[SOLVED] Bluetooth driver not found

I am getting the following error.

$ sudo modprobe btusb
modprobe: FATAL: Module btusb not found in directory /lib/modules/4.12.13-1-ARCH

No idea what to do?

Re: [SOLVED] Bluetooth driver not found

You got a kernel update and were still running the old kernel, so modprobe was looking for the old module, which no longer existed. The reboot loaded the new kernel and allowed modprobe to find the module. Problem solved. It is a good idea to reboot after a kernel update.
