Please provide a link to the sources. Are they already part of the kernel? Which exact module will work? (see lspci -k) So far I just found this link: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/mediatek Created attachment 753922 [details, diff]
patch to enable mtk bluetooth in kernel config
I apologize for not providing enough details.
It's about the current testing distribution kernels:
sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel
sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin
version 5.15.1.
Sources are in the kernel already, the drivers just need to be enabled.
I'm attaching a patch for the kernel config file.
Regards,
Georgi
Are you sure that CONFIG_BT_HS is required? Fedora seems to enable the other two only: commit 2edca076e88a261fe0a1a152549dbc51c7f071a6 Author: Justin M.

Please enable Mediatek bluetooth protocol in the distribution kernel to support newer Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (and most probably 7) laptops. This is the only hardware in that laptop not supported with current kernels. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge nstall gentoo-kernel or gentoo-kernel-bin and boot it. 2. Inspect dmesg to see if bluetooth is initaliazed or use hciconfig -a command 3. Actual Results: Bluetooth is not initialized: 1. It's missing from dmesg log 2. hciconfig -a doesn't show an actual device Expected Results: Bluetooth is initialized: 1. You can see it in the dmesg logs, usually at the very end of boot process 2. hciconfig shows an actual device It may be a good idea to enable bluetooth high speed features as well.
