Re: Please help configure to activate Bluetooth networking for "Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)" card
The instructions on the webpage: https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/blob/master/README.md, the portion of the note: https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/blob/master/README.md#notes-about-combined-wifibluetooth-devices may please be perused The firmware was already in the directory: /lib/firmware/brcm, but still error messages were read on the terminal. Solved the issue. There was a simple trick involved: I had to make the file read-only for all. Then restart the computer. Now: # dmesg | grep -i bluetooth # Shows all Bluetooth driver info Output: [ 29.102165] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22 [ 29.102210] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized [ 29.102219] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized [ 29.102224] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized [ 29.102230] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized [ 105.688413] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3 [ 105.688419] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast [ 105.688426] Bluetooth: BNEP socket layer initialized # dmesg | grep -i bluetooth | grep -i firmware # Shows Bluetooth firmware issues Output: None However, I am still receiving the same error messages for the other commands as listed on the post: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/10/msg00871.html I now would need your support to install specific packages and reconfigure the settings so that I no longer receive the error messages.

may please be perused:
Some Bluetooth controller (for example, BCM4354 and BCM4356) are
integrated to WiFi chipset (this can be BCM43XX 802.11ac Wireless
Network Adapter or just simple generic Broadcom PCIE Wireless). These
devices requires two kinds of firmware - first for WiFi, and second
for Bluetooth. Without WiFi firmware Bluetooth will not initialize and
will not work properly. Firmware for WiFi already included to kernel,
but you may need to do additional work to place correct NVRAM.
Resolution needed for the above note.

Dear Mr. ullrich, I am so concerned by the Biblical God-like Commandment of some of the senior members of this mailing list that I have to ask you a second time: have you meticulously perused all my posts relating to this problematic hardware?: "Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)" card The relevant posts begin at: (1) https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2019/10/msg00493.html (2) https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/10/msg00452.html (3) https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/10/msg00649.html (4) https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/10/msg00650.html Also, I assume you have noted that I still continue to use the oldstable system: [Official Debian GNU/Linux Live 11.6.0 lxde 2022-12-17T11:46]/ bullseye Sometimes I feel that some posters are actually planted here on the Mailing List, and are heavily paid for their disruptions, by the Proprietary Universe, to make Free and Open Source users like me lose hope on the FSF ecosystem, feel frustrated and compel us to return to the Proprietary Universe, turning away from the FSF/OpenSource system and the Social Contract. Then again, there are some who express their goodness and then vanish. The latter, like Mr. Davidson, Mr. Curt, et al, are the ones who keep my hope on humanity and the social contract intact. I still believe that man could admire the best way forward: the positive non-zero sum cooperative games, if he chose wisely. You appear to be here since May 2011 in the debian-user ML. So you appear to be a fairly senior member. Also, it appears that you have been suggesting module-assistant since Jul 2011, thus experienced in using module-assistant. I have installed the m-a package, but not the rest, yet. I hope that I will hear from you a second time. If I don't, then still ... Best wishes, Rajib Etc.

[ ... ] Dear Mr. Cater, I took time to go through the list/description of Wireless network cards in the package Description for which the driver is suitable. The list is as follows: ... Supported chipsets: * BCM4306/3 (chip revision 3 only); * BCM4311 (NOT PCI Id 14e4:4313); * BCM4312; * BCM43131; * BCM4318; * BCM4321 (only partial support, not all versions tested); * BCM43217; * BCM4322 (only partial support for some versions, not all versions tested); * BCM43222 (not all versions tested); * BCM43224 (not all versions tested); * BCM43225; * BCM43227; * BCM43228; * BCM4331; * BCM47xx (detection not reliable, may not support all versions). If observed carefully, the card which my laptop has is: BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01) None of the list-items has the said card mentioned. So I am doubtful if this driver would even work. Further, the webpage https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/b43#contact for the "firmware-b43-installer" may please be perused: On the webpage the list with the following columns has the following entries for the said chipset: PCI-ID Supported? Chip ID Modes PHY version Alternative 14e4:4365 no BCM43142 b/g/n LCN40 (r3) wl So it can be seen that the driver isn't suitable for my laptop's said card. I again post my query to all Senior Members of the debian-user Mailing List: If senior members have gone through this ML subject thread, your experience is invited on the issue. Once again the detailed dmesg output for the "bluetooth" section for the said card is at the post: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/10/msg00649.html. Particularly: # dmesg | grep -i -e "bluetooth" [191884.268151] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: chip id 70 [191884.269117] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: features 0x06 [191884.285185] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM43142A [191884.285195] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM43142A0 (001.001.011) build [191884.286140] bluetooth hci0: firmware: failed to load brcm/BCM43142A0-0a5c-216d.hcd (-2) [191884.286161] bluetooth hci0: firmware: failed to load brcm/BCM-0a5c-216d.hcd (-2) [191884.286165] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: firmware Patch file not found, tried: [191884.286168] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: 'brcm/BCM43142A0-0a5c-216d.hcd' [191884.286171] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: 'brcm/BCM-0a5c-216d.hcd' [191886.293688] Bluetooth: hci0: command 0x1003 tx timeout [191886.295091] Bluetooth: hci0: unexpected event for opcode 0x1003 The wifi section works perfectly well. Therefore, I would again return to my earlier post at: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/10/msg00650.html That is, the thread with the Subject: Which Network Controller Card handling Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc., connectivities, is GNU/Linux Approved/certified, and would be (1) compatible with my HP laptop's motherboard, and (2) could replace the "Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)" I desire a Debian approved list for perfectly compatible Wireless-Bluetooth Cards.

[ ... ] Sure. One note: the correct phrase would be "Inclusive Globalism", not "Bharatiya Nationalism". In the said post, as a reply to Mr. Dan Purgert -'s post dated: Tue, 24 Oct 2023 07:45:13 -0400, I couldn't help identify the global anglo-Saxon ploy to enslave the world embedded within his sentences. I immediately remembered the information on the "The Creature From Jekyll Island, G Edward Grifin", "The Tower Of Basel, Adam LaBor", "Committee Of 300", the "Corporation Of London", et al. I was just networking the extreme evil that ensues from a trans-generational scarcity of resources, and my thought flowed to the tropics, where ample sunlight and rainfall ensured a bewilderingly rich biome with plenty of diverse foods, merriment and festivals round the year. I remembered that the public is only 3 meals away from a revolution. >From there the Maslow-ian hierarchy of needs arrived ... and the rest Control, Covid19, planned eradication of global population, Control of Resources by Global Corporations, End of Freedoms, including Free air and water ... Readers interested to know the real story of Bharat could contact for a text download link. Best wishes, Rajib Etc.

If you go the b43 way, then you need to remove wl, I think. The catch is that you need network access to download the Broadcom firmware to make use of b43-fwcutter. If you're unlucky, the wireless network card may actually be built into the laptop chipset and not easily able to be changed.
