[Discuss] bluetooth dongle

[epp at linuxmail.org (epp at linuxmail.org)]

This dongle has the Broadcom BCM20702 chip and requires firmware for
some distros to use successfully with Linux.

For Debian, I had to install the DEB package available at
https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware

There is a link in the description to download both DEB and RPM
packages. The RPM package may or may not be needed for Fedora, best to
test first. For Mageia 8, my headphones worked right out of the box and
this firmware was not required.
