https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60824 --- Comment #180 from Swyter (swyterzone@xxxxxxxxx) --- Newer versions of the kernel should detect (most) fake CSR dongles and warn via dmesg, check this out: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/cde1a8a992875a7479c4321b2a4a190c2e92ec2a#diff-82175cb30d8f0e6fd9fb8b83571c33aac5db6db4d5f79dd97d4255116a79c79eR1813 My mainlined patch also adds a few known workarounds, which with the latest bluez changes seem insufficient. But when I originally submitted the patch it made my dongle work just fine. So in theory using an older patched kernel should work. Improvements are welcome, while getting a new dongle is a decent solution ideally we'd fix the counterfeit ones enough to work as well as on Windows. The problem is that bluez is a moving target, with new modes being introduced all the time, regressing these fickle chips. -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
