Intel AX210 Bluetooth — the Bluetooth half of the field laptop's Wi-Fi 6E card, on USB

Vendor: Intel · class: bluetooth-controller

Status: untested — catalogued from documented sources, not yet proven here.

Not maintainer-verified: nobody on this project has run this hardware yet. The two facts are recorded separately on purpose (D-027) — a correct recipe and a tested device are different claims.

What it is

The Bluetooth controller of an Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E card, which presents to the kernel as a USB device on the machine's internal bus even though the card sits in an M.2 slot. btusb drives it, BlueZ manages it.

What you can do with it

Park it for power and radio silence in the field, wake it when a headset or a keyboard is wanted, or switch the radio off through BlueZ without detaching it. See the bluetooth-controller class for what each does.

Setup

Nothing to install. hammunition hardware park bluetooth-controller and hammunition hardware wake bluetooth-controller; bluetoothctl power off is the lighter switch. Parking has not been run on this controller.

Known problems

A Bluetooth keyboard or mouse goes with a parked controller. Whether the adapter returns powered on after a wake is unmeasured here.
