I got my laptop connected to my router
but the output of lsusb (Bus 002 Device 003)
got me thinking:
"What type of connection is being used, Bluetooth or wifi?
Output is below:
lsusb

Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

I'm about 100 percent sure there is no wifi router out there that will let you connect via bluetooth...besides it's a completely different protocol with a completely different connection process, if you connected via bluetooth you would know it.

The lsusb just shows your computer has bluetooth, that doesn't mean it's actually being used for anything.

Here's a test: Carry your laptop 10 feet away from your router. Does the connection still work? If so, then it's not using bluetooth.

Thanks!
Only wanted to confirm the Bluetooth due to the lsusb output.
The wifi is probably integrated into the mobo or something.

You might see the wireless network device using 'lspci'.
