I read: How to debug Bluetooth problems - Fedora Project Wiki, it asked us to use hciconfig

But when I typed on bash

$ hciconfig
bash: hciconfig: command not found

How to install hciconfig. How to find which package provides this tool and how to search for it?

$ dnf search hciconfig

sudo dnf provides hciconfig will provide you the package that is needed to install it.

Or you could use the trick that DNF knows how to install the package that contains a file.

$ dnf install /usr/bin/hciconfig
