Hi! Just bought a TP-Link Archer T4E PCIe adapter with Wifi+BT combo. The wifi is working just fine but the bluetooth no. It no even displays the BT logo in my cinnamon desktop. I'm currently using Linux Mint 22.3.

Just to mention that the adapter has a cable to connect the USB BT (I guess) to a motherboard front 9 pin USB connector (which I conected)

Is there a way to troubleshoot this to get it working?

Code:
$ dmesg | grep -i rtl
[    1.395249] r8169 0000:07:00.0 eth0: RTL8168h/8111h, 0a:e0:af:b3:9a:15, XID 541, IRQ 43

Code:
$ inxi -Nn
Network:
  Device-1: Realtek RTL8822CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
    driver: rtw_8822ce
  IF: wlp6s0 state: down mac: bc:07:1d:70:0f:84
  Device-2: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8211/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet
    driver: r8169
  IF: enp7s0 state: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full mac: 0a:e0:af:b3:9a:15
  IF-ID-1: docker0 state: down mac: 7e:5f:74:87:25:28
 


Well, just unplugged the adapterm then pugged it again, reconnected the USB cable, thigthen up the chasis screw and the card is working. So I confirm it works in LM 22.3
