Seems that I have this too $ lsusb Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) I've been using this since 2007 - all rocks When I looked in the Google glass it told me this https://forum.manjaro.org/t/bluetooth-usb-adapter-not-being-recognized/142636/12 which lead to this https://www.reddit.com/r/AnnePro/comments/e76ij8/csr_40_bluetooth_dongle_on_linux/ Are you sure it is not one of those described in the articles. If so - it's bad luck. Meanwhile I am rethinking my position on dead penalty for producers of fakes. It is really really bad out there. An the price is not always a guarantee for good quality, but cheep is usually a sign for bad quality. In case it is not one of those reported not working, when enabled, below is some output to compare. I also never had to use hciconfig to configure it - it is systemd doing it via I don't know what - probably udev. I was also thinking of some details: - Does it work on other machines - different kernel or OS? - Here ATM it is running on 4.19. - I'm just not sure if it needs firmware. I have not rebooted the PC for months and I can't find anything in the logs. - What about groups (are you in bluetooth)? - What about dbus? regards # hciconfig hci0: Type: Primary Bus: USB BD Address: 00:10:60:xx:xx:xx ACL MTU: 310:10 SCO MTU: 64:8 UP RUNNING PSCAN RX bytes:126491975 acl:406135 sco:3168 events:4620 errors:0 TX bytes:707462 acl:3276 sco:3173 commands:1463 errors:0 # systemctl status bluetooth ● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Sat 2020-07-18 20:53:04 CEST; 2s ago Docs: man:bluetoothd(8) Main PID: 7509 (bluetoothd) Status: "Running" Tasks: 1 (limit: 4915) Memory: 2.1M CGroup: /system.slice/bluetooth.service └─7509 /usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd Jul 18 20:53:04 fujitsu systemd[1]: Starting Bluetooth service...
