(Olease cc: me on replies - I'm subscribed nomail to both lists) I have a laptop (running 13.1p2) with the (reportedly) WiFi+Bluetooth interface "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 3165" (see pciconf -l and usbconfig output in attached files) and I can't get it to load its Bluetooth firmware with either iwm or iwlwifi as a driver. iwlwifibluetooth.txt is the transcript (courtesy of script(1) with minimal editing) of gathering information I thought relevant after booting with it being iwlwifi0, and likewise iwmbluetooth.txt for iwm0. 2 things I noticed that may bear on this: - the 3rd line from the end of dmesg.boot when using iwlwifi: it looks like it's reloading the Wifi firmware instead of loading the Bluetooth firmware. - "<vendor 0x8087 product 0x0a2a>" in usbconfig output where /usr/share/misc/usbdevs only mentions 0x0a2a. Is there a typo in that file, or is my interface's Bluetooth side New and Strange(tm)? -- #BlackLivesMatter #TransWomenAreWomen #AccessibilityMatters #StandWithUkrainians English: he/him/his (singular they/them/their/theirs OK) French: il/le/lui (iel/iel and ielle/ielle OK) Tagalog: siya/niya/kaniya (please avoid sila/nila/kanila)
