Hybrid bluetooth adapter not detected

alazoz · 2021-09-19 16:55:00

I am using Arch linux currently, and I cannot use my bluetooth driver in it. My PC is a laptop, DELL Inspiron n4030 i3-380m and it has a hybrid BROADCOM 4313 Wifi and bluetooth card inbuilt. The wifi is working fine, but there is no sign that bluetooth exist.

I have bluez and blueman installed.

The driver that I am using for my wifi is `b43`

`sudo lspci -vnn -d 14e4:`

When I start the bluetooth with
`sudo modprobe btusb; systemctl start bluetooth`
`sudo dmesg | grep -i bluetooth`:

When I do `bluetoothctl`

$ bluetoothctl

If you need more log then I could provide.
And yes, the bluetooth module works, as I had used it on ubuntu (somehow, that I dont remember) and windows10 with lenovo drivers.

Apparently the driver you need is brcmsmac.
Plz try

modprobe brcmsmac

You probably also need the linux-firmware package.
If it works you might need to blacklist the b43 drivers.
Plz see

I tried blocking b43 and using brcmsmac, but everything is still the same.
I have already linux-firmware package installed, and is currently latest.
In the link, I am not sure which one to follow, can you be more descriptive. I am somewhat noob (at least in driver categories).

This log may help maybe!

Please wrap those outputs in bbcode [ code ] [ /code ] rather than markdown: https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

You might want to test behaviour with the wl driver rather than the OSS offerings

Thanks sir, I didn't knew that. I am new to this.

I tried installing wl drivers, but I got the error!!

Am I doing something wrong?

Probably because you shouldn't be trying to manually make something. There's a broadcom-wl package in the repos.

I tried the broadcom-wl package, but the results are the same, wifi works, but no signs of bluetooth. I also tried :

wl from broadcom-wl
wl from broadcom-wl-dkms
b43
brcmsmac

The results are the same, Wi-Fi works but the bluetooth don't.

The rfkill list command don't list it in any case. It only show the wifi.
The lsusb is the only thing where I could see that the bluetooth is there.

Do `rfkill list` show the device when the dirver is installed for the device only?
