ThinkPad Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate (BDC-2.1)

This is a USB Bluetooth Adapter that is installed in a BDC slot in the screen assembly.

Features

  • Chipset: ?
  • Model: ?
  • USB VID/PID: ?

IBM Partnumbers

IBM FRU PN: 42T0969

Linux Driver

The Bluetooth adapter uses the hci_usb driver (CONFIG_BT_HCIUSB).

One can enable Bluetooth by pressing FnF5. If this doesn't work, you can load the thinkpad-acpi kernel module and run the following command with root privileges:

# echo "enable" > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth

When Bluetooth is enabled, the Bluetooth-logo LED will light up and executing # lsusb will show an entry mentioning "Broadcom".

On recent ThinkPads the Wireless killswitch disables both WiFi and Bluetooth.
