Hello,
I recently bought a tp link adapter bluetooth 6 nano UB600 | Adaptateur USB nano Bluetooth 6.0 | TP-Link France , and It doesn’t work, If I try unplugging then re plugging for a second there is a Bluetooth icon and then it disappears. Can anywone help me?
I looked at drivers for Linux on their site but coud’nt find any does that mean I cant use it with Linux? Or are there other non official tp-link drivers that could work?
It looks like this is a “known issue” based on this. That post seems to also indicate a fix. I’d give that a try and post back if more help is needed…
It often takes time for changes needed to support new hardware to appear in linux. The link Bryan posted may provide a workaround while waiting for the changes to appear, or you can purchase a BlueTooth dongle with “in-kernel” support. Don’t buy a dongle that doesn’t specify the USB vendor and device ID’s so you can check linux support.
Edit: https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/Recommended_Bluetooth_Adapters_for_Linux.md.
The instructions somehow didn’t work I don’t know if maybe I did something wrong.
So I will definitively look at the link send by @gnwiii
It is not unusual for such instructions to need changes for each distro and kernel version. While learning how to adapt instructions can be a useful exercise when you have some free time, I have found it important to have USB dongles for sound and wireless to use when the core mission requires immediate updates that break functions for which there are cheap hardware workarounds.
Great points by George… Are you on the latest kernel? Check with uname -r.
I am on version: 7.1.5-200.fc44.x86_64
Ah! So, according to that link I gave you, there’s a fix committed in the 7.2 kernel, which looks like it’s currently only in the Rawhide release.
If you can wait it until it’s released, that’s ideal; if not, that post details how to apply an out-of-tree patch to btusb.c that adds the missing entry.
I can wait, no rush. It’s just that my headset has a 2.4 connection and sometimes it has a problem that for a moment (~10 seconds) it has disconnected for no apparent reason, so I wanted to try via bluetooth to see if the problem persisted.
