Bluetooth, ?driver?

[Curious Carl]

I have a bluetooth and wifi connection problem. I had it fixed before but managed to break it again. Newer Dell Tower, Bluetooth and wifi wouldn't work. Some smart guy on this forum showed me how to upgrade (I think) the kernal, and everything worked flawlessly (whew). I had some unrelated problems and used timeshift. Now, again, my bluetooth doesn't recognize the board in the computer (I think). I am using Mint 21.2 and the board in the computer is Bluetooth:
Device-1: Realtek Bluetooth Radio type: USB driver: btusb v: 0.8 bus-ID: 1-14:5
chip-ID: 0bda:887b class-ID: e001 serial: <filter> I think.
Can someone re-help this digital neanderthal out once more please.

Which kernel are you using, check:

Code: Select all

uname -r

kernal 5.15.0-101-generic I think.

Install the 6.5 kernel in Update Manager, View, Linux Kernels & reboot.

I did, it worked flawlessly, all is swell! In my efforts I did get close, but failed to click on View. There's hope for me still <grin>. Many thanks.

Glad that worked for you. Edit your first post & add [SOLVED] to the Subject line.
