Bluetooth not working on Fedora 40 with Intel AX201

acclassic · October 3, 2024, 3:22pm

Yesterday I wanted to connect a Bluetooth Device for the first time since using Fedora but I’m unable to switch on Bluetooth on my computer. WIFI works fine though.
I have installed Fedora 40 a week ago on a dual boot system with Windows 10. On Windows I already deactivated Fast Boot.
According to my research the driver should work starting from kernel 5.2+.

How can I solve this problem? Or what are the next steps I should take to troubleshoot the problem further?
