Summary | 0008216: Wrong Driver (or nonworking driver) loads for Realtek USB Bluetooth adaptor | ||||
Description | When Plugging a "popular" and commonly available Realtek USB5 adaptor, system loads incorrect driver. When plugging idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8771 [81435.017653] usb 2-5: new full-speed USB device number 14 using ohci-pci | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Plug in said device to any up to date Kali system and get a driver loaded that is not working properly. | ||||
Additional Information | By not working properly I mean NO ble functions appear to work. If I rename the files so it load the "b" named driver it works. Also I am new enough to Linux an do not really understand how the detect device and load driver process works. I get it that when you insert the device that idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8771 somehow tells the system what it is | ||||
Thanks for the detailed bug report. I did a bit of research on my side, apparently it's been broken for a long time, Earlier report I can see is from 2021-09-02: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214287 Looking at the linux-firmware Git repo, the pair of firmware rtl8761b and rtl8761bu were added in 2021-05-29, and then updated on 2021-11-25, as can be seen with: <pre> |

It's really something in the kernel. This commit https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=9fd2e294. As you can see there, there's a mapping between firmware files, and the information that the kernel has about the device. I'm no kernel specialist so I can't explain more in detail, sorry :) |
