Ugreen Bluetooth CM748

Im trying to get a new bluetooth adapter working on my machine… some things seem to see it and others dont

the relivant line from lsusb gives

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 33fa:0010  UGREEN BT5.4 Adapter

inxi -NSE gives

  Device-1: Intel I211 Gigabit Network driver: igb
Bluetooth:
  Device-1: UGREEN BT5.4 Adapter driver: btusb type: USB
  Report: btmgmt ID: hci0 state: up address: N/A

rfkill gives

ID TYPE      DEVICE      SOFT      HARD
 1 bluetooth hci0   unblocked unblocked

but bluetoothctl seems to not see it

[bluetooth]# show
No default controller available
[bluetooth]# 

has anyone got one of these adapters working? and if not can anyone recomend a known good adapter for manjaro?

Researching compatibility beforehand is quite useful :slight_smile:
