Hi,
I have the following problem:
- I want to use my bluetooth keyboard
- I want to use WiFi
- I bought a 2-in-1 Bluetooth-WiFi-USB-Adapter. WiFi works, but bluetooth does not with my keyboard
- I have a Bluetooth-USB-Adapter which works with my keyboard
- Only the upper USB port is working in host-mode (from my understanding), so I can only use one adapter at the same time
Is it somehow possible to use both?
Perhaps a USB hub will get you where you want to go?
Are you sure the keyboard is bluetooth? Some keyboards are. But a lot of keyboards come with a dongle that is not necessarily implementing bluetooth.
Yes, I'm sure the keyboard is bluetooth. It is using these controllers:

And it is running this firmware:

It is a split-keyboard and has 34 keys (in total), I think it is a great form factor for the pinetab. Here is a photo of it:

It works fine with my other Bluetooth-USB-adapters.
For now, I decided to use only Bluetooth, and when I need network I can use USB network connection sharing with my PC via the lower USB port. But, yes, maybe I should buy a USB hub.
The most combo Bluetooth + Wifi Adapter are a mess to install under Linux. I tried 3 different. They work all only for Windows.
If you will find one, which will work - let us know!

this is likely your best bet, as currently it's unlikely any peripheral in the lower usb-c port will be recognized by the OS. it's pretty much a charging only port right now.

attachment=2869]The dock that shipped with the “Convergence package” of the original PinePhone works fine with the PT2 for WiFi & BT, with power connected; It has no problem with my JBL Clip & personal hot-spot (PP).
Make sure you have the right packages/modules loaded and everything connected before powering up your device.
