I have a “clean install” on a x86_64 Tablet (Linx 10v64) that has (I believe?) a RealTek combined WiFi/Bluetooth chip.
The WiFi seems to be working okay? Apart from not being seen by NetworkManager until I had enabled it first in Wicked.
After that either service seems happy with the WiFi side of chip.
However, I can not get the Bluetooth working. I think I have the BlueDevil and BlueMan GUIs working because I can pop an alternative BT adaptor in the USB slot and all seems to work.
But I don’t want to loose the only full-size USB slot. Can anyone help?
I have googled here and across the Internet and although there was a lot of chat about compiling firmware from alternatives repos, all that stopped a few years ago. This is telling me that the firmware that I think I need is about somewhere in an “official” source?
Please let me help you, help me with any logs, debug outputs etc. I am deliberately not wanting to clutter this introduction.
Best regards, Martin

Hi
So what is the output from;
/sbin/modinfo r8723bs
If it’s still in staging for the kernel, then it means it’s not been
fully tested/accepted…
I would look at raising a bug report, can you download and boot from a
Tumbleweed Live USB and see if it works first?

Unfortunately, no. I tried both Gnome TW Live and KDE TW Live, neither showed any interest in exposing the Bluetooth interface.
Of minor interest (maybe) the Gnome Desktop was able to recognise the accelerometer and rotate the display (however in Portrait Mode it is upside-down?)
Yep. I’m game. Can you point me to the Were/How links?
Many regards, Martin
