Fixing Bluetooth on Fedora 35
After updating Fedora, I ended up with a dysfunctional bluetooth - (again?).
To avoid the same pain for everyone else - here's how to fix it.
The fix
The issue was caused by a missing patch, so first check if you're running into a similiar issue as I was by running
dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
If you now see something like the following, that means you're covered!
Bluetooth: hci1: BCM: Patch brcm/BCM20702A1-0b05-17cb.hcd not found
Head over to winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware and pretty much just follow the instructions!
To be more specific:
- Find the file mentioned in dmesg in the
brcmfolder in the repo mentioned above. - Download it into
/lib/firmware/brcm
cd /lib/firmware/brcm
sudo curl -o BCM20702A1-13d3-3411.hcd https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/raw/master/brcm/BCM20702A1-13d3-3411.hcd
- Reboot
