Turns out rfkill wasn’t really the culprit despite the bluetoothd error messages. Yet, rfkill(8) showed that Bluetooth was unblocked: $ rfkill The Failed to set mode error messages were the problem.

It looked like akmod-wl didn’t bring in the proper driver her desktop system needed to handle both wireless and Bluetooth. For some reason, the driver ran wireless but not Bluetooth. As I suspected, the Broadcom chipset handles both wireless and Bluetooth operations. Once detected, select the one to connect and it just works. Turn Bluetooth on and GNOME detects our various devices. Normally I keep Bluetooth off for security considerations - especially on laptops. GNOME’s Bluetooth search kept spinning and spinning but not finding anything.

She tried connecting her Bluetooth wireless earphones to play her games while I watched a movie in the same room. What Windows should have allowed long ago.īut a few days later, she experimented with Steam games. Installed akmod-wl and the Broadcom wireless worked.

Your next system upgrade automatically brings it in, connects the kernel hooks, and your reboot runs the new driver with the latest kernel.
When a new kernel releases, the akmod maintainers keep up with the latest manufacturer release update. Using akmod - automatic kernel modification - versions automatically keep up with new kernels.

The kmod - kernel modification - drivers provide Linux kernel support for various manufacturers’ hardware, adding to the kernel during boot. Now it’s much easier: akmod-wlhas Broadcom support ( broadcom-wl).

In those bad old days I went through all sorts of gyrations with ndiswrapper to extract and install Windows drivers on Linux systems for Broadcom chipsets. Machines I ran years ago used Broadcom chipsets. Looking deeper, I discovered her desktop used a Broadcom wireless chipset. Now, with Windows gone, Fedora should have run both networks. While she ran Windows on that desktop, the wire was disconnected to access to the wireless net so she could print. Both connected? Windows gives control to the faster net and disables access to the other. Windows inexplicably didn’t allow two networks to run at the same time. Routing automatically figures it all out. My Fedora systems runs both wired and wireless nets. While Windows was still on it, I didn’t think having both nets would be a problem. Faster than the wireless.īut, her printer is on our wireless net. Ran a cable for network speed to that desktop system long ago. We let the expensive Microsoft subscription expire. Primarily she used it for her games and I occasionally used it for compatibility with a consulting client who insisted on using Word and Excel. Certain misbehaviors over the next days after installation pointed out more trouble than it was worth. Peppermint OS just wasn’t measuring enough difference to mess with it. Turns out it wasn’t much faster with Peppermint OS. I’d read it was a lightweight speed demon. It was time to bring 31 to her systems.įor her old laptop I first wanted to try Peppermint OS, an Ubuntu derivative. She asked me to put Fedora on it.įedora 31 just came out.
Its Windows strangeness was getting intolerable. My identical laptop also came with Windows, but I took its pristine drives out, never booting with Windows on them, replaced them with SSDs - Samsung 970 Pro & 860 EVO - and put Fedora on.
Her newer laptop is a twin of mine except she runs Windows. She was grumbling about her older desktop behavior and recent news about Windows foul-ups.
