My Bluetooth isn’t working. It’s not even detected by the rfkill list command. Since installing various Linux distributions, I’ve had persistent Wi-Fi issues. To fix those, I used this repository: repo: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88.

Important: This rtw88 repository is for Wi-Fi only. The kernel drivers btusb and btrtl (located in the drivers/bluetooth directory) are used for Realtek Bluetooth devices.

While Bluetooth works after manually loading btusb, it doesn’t load automatically. Here’s my question:

  • How can I configure btusb to load automatically at boot?
  • Alternatively, what might be causing btusb not to load automatically?

    Interesting.

    A quick and dirty way to do it on each boot is to run a script on a Cron job or set up a system d service that only loads it after 5 minutes.

    sleep 300
modprobe btusb

    That’s not an ideal solution by any stretch but it might bridge the gap for now…
