I have implemented Armbian 22.08.1 on my PineBookPro. I use Ubuntu 20.04 on another laptop and am quite happy with the Ubuntu user interface and would like to replicate it on the PineBookPro. On my PineBookPro Armbian seems to work fine including wifi, but I have been unable to find any brcm drivers that allow the bluetooth to start or connect. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Carl
