Bluetooth question

[voidnickel]

Good afternoon, I have a question related to Bluetooth
I have a Bluetooth 5.3 USB Realtek dongle and I installed comms/rtlbt-firmware port
hccontrol -n ubt0hci Read_Local_Version_Information give me this output:

HCI version: Bluetooth HCI Specification 5.1 [0xa]
HCI revision: 0x0b
LMP version: Bluetooth LMP 5.1 [0xa]
LMP sub-version: 0x8761
Manufacturer: Realtek Semiconductor Corporation [0x5d]

And hccontrol -n ubt0hci inquiry can't find any Bluetooth devices:

Inquiry complete. Status: No error [00]

Does it mean that Bluetooth 5.3 is not supported?

I too yersterday try to use bt5 usb dongle. And see the same picture.
Can't say anything about ver5 support, but about firmware: it's must be loaded. And this is in description:

To be downloaded with rtlbtfw(8).

And this tool already in source, but in main branch. I do not know, how it's going to be used (in linux kernel modues search for firmware, and loads them, if found) -- manually, or by script...

Maybe we should just wait for 15 release? I don't want to install 15.0-CURRENT on this pc
