I have been trying to get bluetooth working reliably on CRUX 3 but it wasn't going so good. I did have it work a few times to play sound through a reciever though. I booted a livecd of Fedora 20 to test it's bluetooth. It worked perfectly. I thought the UI was interesting so I installed Fedora.

I rebooted and loaded CRUX and now the bluetooth chip isn't even recognized. btusb isn't loaded at startup and if I load it manually nothing shows up with hciconfig, hcitool dev, bluetoothctl list. I tried re-building the kernel with the config I knew to work. I disabled the BT in BIOS, then enabled it. I tried running Fedora and making sure I had bluetooth turned off when I rebooted into CRUX. I don't know what else I should try.

it still works in Fedora. the chip is a Broadcom BCM2045 03f0:171d "Hewlett Packard 2.0 Bluetooth Interface"
`uname -a`
I won't bother attaching lsusb or usb-devices output because it's not listed anymore. dmesg and kernel config is attached though

thanks for any help

Nearly certainly a module in the fedora kernel is missing in crux.

try lsmod > file in each system and diff them

I :
A) booted into Fedora
B) turned bluetooth on
C) rebooted from Fedora
D) booted into CRUX
E) bluetooth is recognized again

If anyone can provide an explanation or a link of why disabling a card in one OS affects another, I'd appreciate that.

@business_kid: It wouldn't have been missing modules because I Have had bluetooth working under CRUX before.
