[Solved] cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/41957406

Exact problem as this archwiki forum post

I have also tried everything and at last here I am asking for any help, otherwise I don’t think I would be able to continue using Linux on this laptop. I’ve tried everything from changing the kernel package to enabling all firmwares to using every kernel parameter I can find everything, nothing says any error or something anywhere. Only error i can find is hci device capabilities -22

Edit: The patch i needed was to add the driver info in btusb.c file. In nixos this is how you do it

  boot = {
    kernelPatches = [
      {
        name = "add-realtek-8852ce-btusb";
        patch = ./btusb.patch;
      }
    ];
}

first what you should do is git clone the linux kernel version you are using check using uname -r for me it was 6.12.(whatever, doesn’t matter)

git clone --depth=1 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git v6.12

then find the btusb.c file in drivers/bluetooth/ and add the line

{ USB_DEVICE(0x13d3, 0x3612), .driver_info = BTUSB_REALTEK |
BTUSB_WIDEBAND_SPEECH },

after these lines

static const struct usb_device_id quirks_table[] = {
 						     BTUSB_WIDEBAND_SPEECH },
 	{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cb8, 0xc558), .driver_info = BTUSB_REALTEK |
 						     BTUSB_WIDEBAND_SPEECH },

now we have made chages to this file right? it will be shows in git diff, so now you should be able to do git diff > btusb.patch this will create a .patch file, now copy this file to wherever folder you put the nixos configuration in, most likely /etc/nixos if not using custom config. Thats it!, now rebuild the configuration and DONE. props to @Maiq.

I will try to get this patch upstream to not having to do this manually.

      I just pointed you in the right direction. You did all the work. Glad to hear you got it going. This is the only drawback to buying niche laptops. They often require a bit of tinkering for a year or two while kernels get patched.

      Nice write up by the way, might help the next person.

        Still if not for you, all efforts would have been futile. Thank you for your valuable inputs.
