Asus ProArt P16 Bluetooth problems

I picked up a new Asus laptop (model H7606WV) and so far it's great except I can't seem to get bluetooth working. I've read the Arch wiki and tried the suggestions there but nothing seems to help. Here's what I've found:

The bluetooth device appears to be a mediatek MT7925B22m. Vendor ID 0489 product e11e. Starting bluetoothd with debugging shows "0 controllers". I've tried with the curretn 6.10 kernel as well as the mainline 6.11rc5 and get the same results. The wiki does mention that some combined wifi/bluetooth adapters need to have bluetooth started before networking but I'm at a loss for how to accomplish that. Any suggestions?

Here's the detailed output I've gathered:

sudo dmesg | grep tooth

Re: Asus ProArt P16 Bluetooth problems

I just ordered one of these P16's for myself.  There is hope for us!

It was detected on Debian and the driver should be present in the kernel

https://linux-hardware.org/?id=usb:0489-e11e

RE: the error you are getting from dmesg: specific error code -16 is related to EBUSY, meaning the resource is busy. Not sure why it's busy, but that's what it means.

Re: Asus ProArt P16 Bluetooth problems

On the topic of starting bluetooth before networking, you can do that with a systemd override

sudo systemctl edit bluetooth

add:

[Unit]
Before=network.target

or if you are using network manager:

[Unit]
Before=NetworkManager.service

Then reload:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

And restart the services;

sudo systemctl restart bluetooth
sudo systemctl restart network.target

Re: Asus ProArt P16 Bluetooth problems

I will try starting bluetooth before networking, and I have seen that linux-hardware.org page but the current kernel source (btusb.c) doesn't show those device ids.

I've submitted a kernel patch that will hopefully make it into 6.12:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-bluetooth … elabs.com/

In the mean time, I've compiled my own version of 6.10.7 (and 6.11rc6) with my patch applied and can confirm bluetooth is working great.

Re: Asus ProArt P16 Bluetooth problems

nice follow up! I'll be looking for 6.12 in the mean time I don't need it working that bad

Do you have a DialPad works on your touchpad?
