Summary0003530: Broadcom -BRCM- Bluetooth missing firmware & profile patches
Description

Hi there all my wonderful OpenSource creatures of Kali! take a look @
https://www.dropbox.com/s/l7y55mbjwvmq2ns/BRCM_Kali_patch.zip?dl=0

This fixes missing Bluetooth firmwares for many Lenovo models, which was
why i looked into this but i stumbled upon more then just missing firmwares.

What does this fix on my Kali?

  • Missing firmwares for many Lenovo models (x230, T430S +++)
    & many USB adapters!

  • Fixes Hands-Free Profile

  • Fixes Headset Profile


    !!!! BEWARE: THE SETUP.sh IS MADE FOR KALI-ROLLING-2016.2 ONLY !!!!

    If you don't need it, don't install it. Kali Devs will maybe include it,
    in a later release, which is better than running an eventually incompatible
    patch. This is tested with the 2016.2 CLEAN version and
    It's works flawless for me.. because i got a Lenovo for some days :p

Thank you but I'm not interested in the result, I'm interested in how you diagnosed your problem and came to this solution.

What error message did you have in "dmesg"?

All the firmware needed by the Linux kernel ought to be provided in the repository linux-firmware.git and not in other random locations.

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
