Bluetooth not detected on Atheros AR5B22 card (VID: 04ca, PID: 3007) in Home Assistant OS after recent updates

[sharklatan]

Describe the issue you are experiencing

I am using a Gigabyte NUC (model GB-BXi7H-4500) with a mini PCIe Atheros AR5B22 card that includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. While the Wi-Fi functionality works perfectly, Bluetooth is not functioning.

When I check the Bluetooth integration in the Home Assistant OS (HAOS) web interface, it shows the message:
• No unconfigured Bluetooth adapters found. There are 0 ignored adapters.

When I run the lsusb command, the VID and PID are detected, showing the following output:
• VID: 04ca
• PID: 3007

However, when interacting with Bluetooth using the bluetoothctl command, I receive the error:
• Error: Unable to open mgmt_socket.

I have confirmed that the Bluetooth device is working, as it functioned correctly when I had Windows installed on the system just a few days ago. It is also detected and functional when booting a Live USB with Ubuntu.

The exact model of the Wi-Fi + Bluetooth card is Atheros AR5B22.

At some point when trying to activate Bluetooth, I did see “Lite-On” (full brand name: Lite-On Technology Corp.) as the Bluetooth device name, which indicates that the Bluetooth adapter was detected. Therefore, I suspect that Bluetooth support might have broken after a recent update

What operating system image do you use?

generic-x86-64 (Generic UEFI capable x86-64 systems)

What version of Home Assistant Operating System is installed?

6.6.66-haos

Did the problem occur after upgrading the Operating System?

No
