[HELP] Broadcom Limited BCM4352 802.11ac/ Bluetooth

[nemmie]

My problem is my system is not detecting my Bluetooth adapter right.
rfkill list

Code: Select all

0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no


As you can see it shows my Bluetooth but then i do
hciconfig

Code: Select all

[root@linux nemmie]# hciconfig
[root@linux nemmie]#


then I found a post saying they got it working doing this

well I got the bluetooth workingSent on:2:12 amwhen I load btusb$ modprobe btusbbluetooth doesn't immediately work and lsusb only shows$ lsusb...Bus 001 Device 002: ID 413c:8143 Dell Computer Corp....I've been searching for information on support forums for a couple of days and came to suspect that "413c:8143 Dell Computer Corp." might actually be a bluetooth device. So I did:$ echo '413c 8143' > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/btusb/new_id$ hciconfig hci0 upand voila now the bluetooth device gets loaded.

I do it and my bluetooth shows up.

Now I have hci0 and it shows bluetooth applet but when I reboot my computer I have to do it all over again.
also my bluetooth will add the devices but fail to connect to them. what am I doing wrong?

[nemmie]

So does anybody have a clue as to how I can set my system so, bluetooth works without me having to go this rout every time?

Well, you could just add

Code: Select all

echo '413c 8143' > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/btusb/new_id
hciconfig hci0

to a script that is run after each login.

You could also add a udev rule which could trigger those commands automatically, see e.g. https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/165845/83329 or https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php ... st12987796

Seems others also have the same issue:
