Sorry for the delay. I have just installed 20.04 to try but the behaviour is the same.
Dmesg log when I plug in the dongle: [ 230.119651] usb 10-1: new full-speed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd [ 230.375357] usb 10-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0a12, idProduct=0001, bcdDevice=88.91 [ 230.375362] usb 10-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 230.375365] usb 10-1: Product: CSR8510 A10 [ 230.479445] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22 [ 230.479465] NET: Registered protocol family 31 [ 230.479466] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized [ 230.479470] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized [ 230.479472] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized [ 230.479475] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized [ 230.504741] usbcore: registered new interface driver btusb [ 230.672496] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3 [ 230.672497] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast [ 230.672501] Bluetooth: BNEP socket layer initialized In the settings screen for BT it shows "BT Turned Off".
