Using latest fedora 41 with Plasma Mobile, I can’t get Bluetooth to work. Nothing shows up running bluetoothctl list. It’s an intel wireless 7265, which shows up as a network controller under lspci, but the bluetooth part doesnt. hciconfig returns nothing.

Steps I’ve taken:

sudo modprobe bluetooth

sudo dnf install bluez bluez-utils

sudo systemctl start bluetooth

I’m having deja vu where I followed all these steps before, but somehow I’m stuck here. Thank you for any help.

    I cannot into computers, but draining the capacitors before rebooting has fixed this issue for me in the past. Not sure if this is even possible on your device given you’re running Plasma Mobile

    Make sure that the driver for the module is enabled in the kernel. dmesg | grep bluetooth should reveal something there.

    Also, make sure the module is not blocked in rfkill.

      dmesg | grep -i bluetooth says this after loading bluetooth with modprobe:

      Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22

NET: Registered PF_BLUETOOTH protocol family

Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized

Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized

Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized

Bluetooth: SC0 socket later initialized

      Rfkill only lists my wlan device which is unlocked.
