Xone and wireless adapter Tumbleweed

[butcherbird]

What’s your guys current experience with the microsoft wireless adapter and Tumblweed using xone kernel driver for current series x/s controllers?

Problem: I can see that adapter seems to be working but no connection occurs.

I’m not sure if there is some cli tool for interacting with this or what. I dont see anything in systemctl list-unit-files that would match “xone” or “xbox”. I see some mentions of an “xboxdrv” in older forum threads but those threads seem associated with xpad.

Kernel: 6.8.7-1-default
zypper installed: xone-kmp-default

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 045e:02e6 Microsoft Corp. Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows

This turned out to be more irritation than a $20 device is worth. I uninstalled the xone-kmp-default and just grabbed latest stuff from github, dkms etc. It seemed promising because after that, i was seeing a connection/disconnect loop in dmesg repeating which according to google indicated the controller firmware needed updating.

So I located a xbox series s (windows 11 wasn’t able to see it even via usbc in order to update firmware) used it to update firmeware on controller and thereafter… again no connection at all. Anyway, this was fun but a usb c cable or bluetooth alternative to this MS device isn’t the end of the world.
