If I boot from an older kernel (the 5.8.15 from the install image) no problem.
If I boot from the 5.10.10, the bluetooth module does not work.
I've seen the same results with KDE, gnome, and XFCE, so I'm pretty
sure it's not the DE.
I get the following:
dmesg | grep hci0
[ 11.031856 ] Bluetooth: hci0: don't support firmware rome 0x11020000
Like the following shows: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210681
Not sure where else to go from here, wait until the fix is committed
in the kernel?
The answer is in comment 19, 20, 25:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210681#c25
The problem with that bug report is too many "me too" comments from
people who don't have the same make/model hardware as that bug report.
A bug report is both problem *and* hardware specific. When people do
me too when they don't have the same hardware as the report, it
renders the report useless and will be ignored.
At this point I'd look in linux-bluetooth@ list to see if the person
in comment 25 actually pinged the list, and if that email references
the author of the commit.
