Can't you disable the onboard bluetooth in the BIOS?

I managed to do that on my system and it's not detected during boot/use of 
either OS.

If the broken bluetooth device is attached via USB (turns up in
`lsusb`), you can disable it via udev:

rfkill list
rfkill block bluetooth (or bluetooth device ID)

should block individual device(s).

Hi

The problem is that the bluetooth circuit seems to be damaged, as I have 
recently the same result on Windows (not only on linux.


At Windows, I can deactivate the hardware at the "device manager", I 
want this the same to be done on Linux.


Not the driver, just to ignore the hardware.
Why do I ask this ?

I ordered now a new bluetooth 5 stick, what if it uses the same driver ?
So loading the driver should not be suppressed more the hardware should 
be ignored



best, Tamer
