I have an atheros AR3011 usb bluetooth adapter that was not being recognized in dmesg in 12.3 resulting in non working bluetooth
“dmesg” output:
3321.506101] usb 1-1.1: new full-speed USB device number 8 using ehci_hcd
3321.591830] usb 1-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=0cf3, idProduct=3005
3321.591835] usb 1-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0
After doing some Googling I came across this page on mageia that inspired me to search for a firmware package in openSUSE
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7921
From what I was able to learn from that Mageia bugzilla page was that I might just be missing the bluetooth firmware.
Searching zypper I was able to find that for openSUSE we have different firmware packages to choose from… one being “bluez-firmware”!!
installing this package brought my bluetooth to life.
