# AIC8800 Linux Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Driver

> **Bluetooth Support**: The [`bluetooth`](https://github.com/shenmintao/aic8800d80/tree/bluetooth) branch fully supports Bluetooth. This main branch only provides Wi-Fi functionality. Please switch to the `bluetooth` branch if you need Bluetooth support.

The same driver supports Wi-Fi-only adapters and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo
|

adapters. On combo devices, `aic_load_fw` uploads the AIC firmware and the
|

standard Linux `btusb` driver handles the Bluetooth HCI interface. The obsolete
|

custom `aic_btusb` module is not used.

I did not develop this software, The code is sourced from the Tenda U11 driver. I only made some modifications to the code to adapt it to newer kernel versions. Apart from compilation issues, I am unable to address other problems.

### Bluetooth on Combo Adapters
|
||||
|
||||
Bluetooth support does not require a separate AIC transport module. After
|
||||
`aic_load_fw` initializes a combo adapter, the kernel automatically binds its
|
||||
Bluetooth interface to `btusb`. A Wi-Fi-only adapter does not expose that
|
||||
interface, so the Bluetooth path remains inactive.
|
||||
|
||||
Verify the expected modules and controller with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
lsmod | grep -E 'aic_load_fw|aic8800_fdrv|btusb'
|
||||
lsusb -t
|
||||
bluetoothctl list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To scan after a controller appears:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bluetoothctl
|
||||
power on
|
||||
scan on
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If Bluetooth is missing or reports HCI timeouts, run the read-only diagnostic
|
||||
script and attach its output together with the current boot log:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chmod +x diagnose_bt.sh
|
||||
sudo ./diagnose_bt.sh
|
||||
sudo journalctl -k -b --no-pager
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The installer removes active references to the retired `aic_btusb` integration.
|
||||
It does not force-load `btusb` or globally change the Bluetooth rfkill state;
|
||||
normal kernel device matching and the user's system policy remain in control.
