Hi, I received a notification for a security alert to update the kernel and after I installed it the bluetooth doesn’t work When I start Bluetooth application it says “your computer does not have any Bluetooth adapters plugged in” And from the lspci -v output it seems that there is no kernel driver in use for the Bluetooth (the below output) 04:00.1 Bluetooth: Ralink corp. RT3290 Bluetooth Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 18ec Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10 Memory at d0600000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/32 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [70] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [140] Device Serial Number 00-00-e2-41-62-3f-76-b8 So how can I fix this? Thanks Ahmed ---

I’m not in front of a SLED machine right now but I was using USB Bluetooth do gle earlier on a fully updated a SLED 11SP3 machine. Can you tell us what version of SLED you are using and the kernel version? If you’re not sure how run `$ cat /etc/*release* $ uname -a` Have you installed all outstanding updates? Is this HP machine which shipped with SLED on it? ---

I’m using SLED 11 SP3 and the kernel is 3.0.93-0.8 There are no outstanding updates And the machine is an HP one with SLED preinstalled on it. It was SLED11 SP2 and I upgraded it to SLED SP3 I beleive I did something wrong while update the kernel that might have deinstalled the bluetooth driver ☹ ---

I can’t select SLED11-SP3-HP-BNB-Updates! It instantly disappears from that list so does this mean that there are no packages available on that repo? When I search for rt3290 I find the below package but I believe before the last kernel update I had another one with default or something that I can’t find any more so I must have accidentally de-installed that one! And now can’t find it! Shall I try to locate it in SP2-HP-BNB-Updates repo? ```auto zypper se rt3290 Loading repository data... Reading installed packages...
