Hi,
I'm using Asus X570-E gaming, with built in intel ax200 - bluetooth 5.0.
I can issue BLE connections, normal BLE scans and it works OK. Wifi also works OK.
However there seems to be no way to issue a passive scan.
I'm mostly using bluepy, but i tried with pure bluez tools.
Same SW stack is working OK on cheap BLE 4.0 dongle, or Centino N-6235 (on my older laptop)
HW: Intel AX 200 (on Asus X570E gaming)
SW: Linux kernel 5.9.3 (Manjaro)
Steps to reproduce:
- using python3 in a temporary directory
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate # create clean venv
pip install --upgrade pip # update pip just in case
pip install bluepy # install bluepy and it's dependencies (bluez)
# next line work OK
sudo blescan # sudo needed for BLE scan permissions...
# next line fails, sine it uses passive scan
sudo python .venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/bluepy/scanner.py
This is an example (using btmon to sniff hci traffic) when passive scan is issued.

If i do
sudo hcitool cmd 0x03 0x0003before that, btmon returns Status as ""Success" everywhere, however no devices are scanned. And afterwards passive scan fails...
Is this linux driver issue, does HW not support passive scan, or am i missing something obvious?
Thanks in advance

Hello mm8803123,
Thank you for patiently waiting.
The engineering team has reviewed the information and it seems to be incomplete, you only provided the btmon trace, and we would like to know if you can provide the entire btmon logs for further analysis.
We will need this information to continue.

Hi,
I'll try to produce logs this weekend.
Just to confirm,
I'm going to use command for ble trace:
btmon -w <trace_file>
And provide
dbus.log file for dbus communication log
and
syslog file for bluetoothd
Is there anything else i can provide or any other file you need?
Thanks,

Hi,
we have same problem with AX 200 on:
- HW: imx8
- SW: balenaOS 2.108.1
Normal BLE scan works fine, however there seems to be no way to process a passive scan.
Passive scan is working fine on same SW stack with BLE 4.0 dongle (Gembird BTD-MINI5 - it shout have Qualcomm CSR8510 A10).
We try passive scan with hcitool:
hcitool -i hci0 cmd 0x08 0x000b 00 00 10 00 10 00 00and also with bluepy-helper:
# bluepy-helper.c version 1.3.0 built at 11:21:29 on Dec 20 2022
pasv
rsp=$mgmtcode=$badstateand both returned (see btmon_debug.zip file) this:

So, we would like to know what is the problem and possibly how it could be fixed.

What is the status of this bug? I have 2 brand new systems unable to detect BLE clients.
Previous posters have already reported the necessary background information, so I am not repeating this here.
It is concerning to see Intel sitting on this issue for so long. This was first reported over 3 years ago!
Is there a formal bug report system I can use to track this issue?
