There are bugs in the 6.11.2–6.11.4 (for sure anyway) kernel that affect certain Bluetooth chipsets. It causes them to not be able to scan for devices.
Because of this I would like to either downgrade to 6.11.1 or upgrade to 6.11.5 or later.
Which would you recommend?
How do I go about this with Aurora being image based? I am just learning how to get programs without using rpm-ostree to keep my system clean.
Also, when is the next kernel update, and what version will it be?
We’re expecting a kernel bump on tuesday but are currently pinned on 6.11.3 to avoid a tailscale regression. Do you have links to the bluetooth issues?
Oh, forgot to mention, use ujust rebase-helper to hop onto the latest stream, that’ll put you on the newest kernel.

It is an arch forum, but I think it is for the mainline kernel, so everyone is affected. They mention some of the commits that are supposed to fix it. I hope you guys have them in the newer kernel.
OK, that might not be the issue as switching to the 6.11.8 kernel in latest did not fix it.
I found that the hardware id for my device is not even in btusb.c. I found somewhere on github someone added it for the 6.8 kernel, but I guess the mainline kernel never picked it up.
My new question, is how can I compile and use a modified btusb module with Aurora?
