Hi everyone,

I was trying to get my WiFi/Bluetooth module up and running, but to no avail. I'm using Debian Linux Jessie w/ MATE GUI [20160701] + Longsleep kernel. WiFi works just fine, but when I try to access the available bluetooth adapters with blueman, it tells me that there are no adapters available.

From what I have read around the forums, it seems that bluetooth should have been fixed in the current Debian distro + kernel. Any thoughts?

Only thing I can share is that it does not work for me either on debian using kernel 3.10.102-3-pine64-longsleep #98 SMP PREEMPT Sat Aug 20 22:28:17 CEST 2016. But, my adapter is seen, a bluetooth mouse and keyboard can pair, but after that they dont work.

Have a look over the instructions that Ajurn posted in this thread. I haven't had time to try them myself, but he says he's using the same debian image as you, and has working bluetooth.
