Yet another bluetooth thread

both bluetooth and wifi…

Basically “why not”, considering that in both cases external dongles are required, and who knows what do you have on your shelf to plug it. I do not see a problem in having both options.

To my understanding, wifi support had been added later as an experimental feature, so having both has at least historical reasons, as a part of continuous development.

I hope that in the future wifi could be used as a hotspot for accessing webui, and updated bluez stack would lead to midi-over-bluetooth support without CME WIDI dongles. If it would happen one day, it’s how it makes a perfect sense to have both even working in the same time.

Tried Hama bluetooth 5 dongle with Dwarf, seems to have Realtek chip in it. It shows only “starting” forever when I go to bluetooth menu and doesn’t go past that. Any tips how to get it to work, or should I just get different dongle?
