Build-in Broadcom Bluetooth adapter can not attach Kali linux Guest

Post by joel1223 »

Hardware: Macbook pro 2015
Software: Monterey 12.6.3, Virtualbox 7.0

I have set up the internal Broadcom Bluetooth adaptor as a USB filter. USB 3.0 (xHCI). Extension pack is installed and guest additions too.

Error message when vertual machine is started up:

Code: Select all

Failed to attach the USB device Broadcom Corp. Bluetooth USB Host Controller [0169] to the virtual machine kali-linux-2022.4-virtualbox-amd64.
Mediatek external USB wireless adaptor is set up same way and run's perfectly.

Is there a fix to this. Thank you !

See USB basics and troubleshooting, especially post 3, "Uncapturable". The built-in controller may be of this category. But try the steps in the tutorial, maybe it will be filterable.
