just want to say if any one whos got fedora here and got issues with bluetooth in kernel 7.06 my bluetooth stoped working earlier today and i hade no idea what it was then i changed to kernel 7.04 then al of a sudden bluetooth worked again 
I only use Fedora through VirtualBox and I don’t use bluetooh.
Just in case, consider to create a post in its official forum at
They are friendly too
Anyway you have 2 sources of feedback
Ok will do 
Questions : is it an onboard bluetooth chipset on a laptop or a PCIe card? Or is it a USB bluetooth dongle…
What is the chipset?
We’d generally use “inxi” to get and post this information. I can’t remember if Fedora installs it as a default - but a “dnf install inxi” should do it if it’s not installed.
“inxi -E” will show your bluetooth device

If it’s an onboard device - the chipset is often also the wifi chipset - e.g. above “AX200” is also my WiFi :

IF-ID-2: virbr0 state: down mac: 52:54:00:16:f9:68
Note : I’ve had HEAPS of issues with USB Bluetooth dongles in the past - I bought a PCIe card for my AMD desktop machine (I rarely use the WiFi though - mostly just ethernet on the enp39s0 NIC).
I also had a heap of wifi and BT issues with a ThinkPad - was almost unusable - it was Realtek or Broadcom… Ordered an Intel CHIPSET mini PCIe card and it just worked and solved all my issues.
Note: I just fired up a Fedora 43 VM - and “inxi” is not installed - but - when you try to run it - it will offer to install it for you…
Edit update :
Despite it offering to install inxi - it didn’t! Probably 'cause I wasn’t running inxi with sudo (you mostly DO NOT need sudo to run inxi - there are a few options that do)… But a quick “dnf install inxi” installed it…
x@fedora:~$ inxi -E
Bluetooth:

That’s hardly surprising - it’s a VM - there is no bluetooth or WiFi…
ok i will try to get the inxi file . its a pci card with both bluetooth and wifi. asus pce-be6500 wifi 7+bt 5.4 its called
this is what i got from inxi -E Mystic@fedora:~$ inxi -E
Bluetooth:
Device-1: IMC Networks Wireless_Device driver: btusb type: USB
Report: btmgmt ID: hci0 state: up address: N/A
and now i started fedora with the new kernel and bluetooth dosent work and if i switch to the kernel that was before the new its working
I think my pci card with wifi and bluetooth is caput lol now i cant get wifi or bluetooth on fedora or cachyos so i hade to use my internet fiber cable to get online again
Use lspci … it will show if linux is detecting your wifi card.
If not, you need to find a driver module .
Try anothe live distro on a usb flash drive. Does wifi work for it?

ok i did use lspci and this is what i get. its the same in chachyos also both wifi and bluetooth not working. and when i boot both fedora and chachyos it takes about 2 min to boot as if the loader is searching for something ?
and i used inxi -E in the terminal but it could not find any bluettoth
inxi is showing the WiFi device as being USB - but you’ve written “pci card”…
So which is it?
It is detecting the wifi card.
You need to
- find the name of the driver module for that Mediatek card … use google
- check if that module is loaded into the running kernel … use
lsmod - if it is not loaded see if it is installed … look in /lib/modules/…
- if it is installed and not loaded , try and load it … use
modprobe… if that works make it load every boot by putting the module name in /ets/modules - if it is installed and loaded, it might be faulty … see if there is a newer version … modules come with each kernel … one way to get a new module is to get a new kernel … another way is to download one from the manufacturer
I seem to remember someone else having trouble with a Mediatek card.
Loadable modules are one of the features of Linux. In the old days to get a new driver you would have to recompile a kernel.
and
When you post the output of a command , please put it in a code box. … use 3 backtiks ‘`’ on a line, then copy in the output, then end with 3 backtiks on a line.
Have a practice … it should look like this
your output
Hi Neville its wierd lol i just booted up my pc and now bluetooth is working it must have been some of the updates . just checked my wifi also works now. they made 2 updates with the kernel in short time and yesterday it was update fedora 44-18 it must have something to do with that .
If you look at that link, you will see another user had a very similar experience.
It would seem Linux does not drive new Mediatek cards very well yet … there are teething issues.
That is not uncommon with Linux plus new hardware.
Mint offers HWE (Hardware Enablement). which may cover this but different platforms of linux
What exactly does that provide?
Ok. I will look it up and thank you
I have not tried it as I am using the debian version of mint on older technology. But the write up suggests it has the latest kernel and more up to date drivers for newer technology. But of course its a different version of linux, the write up does suggest it may not work on older computers. So they are pushing different versions of mint with cinnamon desktop. We did have similar a few versions back with “edge” version but it did not last, rolled into normal version.
So its like Edge or MXahs… latest drivers for new hardware.
It is good to see someone making an effort to support new hardware in linux.
The other way to get more recent kernels and drivers is to use a rolling release distro… like Void or Gentoo. When I had a new hardware problem, Void coped, but Debian failed.
cachy os is rolling release and i think Fedora is to i got kernel 7.8 now on both cachy os and fedora
