broadcom-bt-firmware VS tplink-ub500-linux-patch-guide

downlaoded bluetooth dongle fw from this repo https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware

Ended up finding this Github for Broadcom Firmware for Linux. Installed the AUR copy of the firmware (broadcom-bt-firmware) and it has certainly helped the quality of my bluetooth.

and it's "blob" and "raw" https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/blob/master/brcm/BCM43142A0-0a5c-21d7.hcd this is the direct link, just verify the name "BCM43---" thing.

which is a wireless/bluetooth combo thing, so I came across this repository: https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware, found the corresponding HCD file and put it into /lib/firmware/brcm, which sadly fixed nothing. Thankfully wired still works fine. What else can I do to fix this?

If this matches what you are seeing, you may see a couple error lines in your Logs on startup similar to shown. A solution I have found involves manually applying the broadcom-bt-firmware patches to your system from the git repository. As with anything like this, make sure you have the broadcom BT in your system, you are seeing a similar error in the log files, an up to date timesync backup of your install and access to a boot USB with Vanessa installed in case something goes wrong.

While looking for fixes for my issue i stumbled on this which may be of help to you https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware.

Step 1 -> Download This File To Your Desktop (Converted Official Package, Do Not Change File Name)

Compiling the firmware is recommended in the German forums ubuntuusers.de. https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware

So after again looking for answers it seems it may be a driver issue with my dongle which is a TPlink UB500 and others are having issues with this well. so here is a patch guide which I have no idea how to implement as I couldn't get passed "wget" as that command isn't valid so I just skipped the rest (I did figure out "curl" for the next thing I was looking up)
