Instructions in the README.md need improvement it seems,

Does Bluetooth work in general? The logs says there would be no adapter available.

What does hciconfig -a give?

[Zelex]

yeah, works.

this is straight up raspbian buster install. no changes.

[mzanetti]

The berrylan image really is just a plain raspbian buster lite with nymea-networkmanager preinstalled too. This is the complete patch against the upstream raspbian image: nymea/pi-gen@13413d9

So next guess would be a permission problem. Are you running it as a user or root?

[Zelex]

The problem occurs when from a fresh install of buster you do apt update, apt upgrade - and after the upgrade bluetooth no longer works correctly.

[Zelex]

this looks maybe related RPi-Distro/pi-bluetooth#25

[Zelex]

also RPi-Distro/pi-bluetooth#26

[Zelex]

BerryLan works fine if you don't apt upgrade. Going to close this. not your problem!

Thanks for digging into this.

I've filed a pull request to update the README.
