This is really weird. yesterday, I was using my Nintendo Wiimotes to play a game with dolphin emulator. Today, I turned on my computer, and when I turned on Bluetooth, it said that I didn't have any adapter. I rebooted my computer, but it still said that, and I couldn't see anything from the bluesman manager. I reinstalled everything and then later rebuilt the driver from the latest backports, but it still didn't work. I then booted into an earlier kernel that I was sure worked, and sure enough, it still doesn't work. I don't know what to do, this is ridiculous being that this whole system was working fine for months now. Please let me know what I should do, its really bugging me. Thanks!

Please update your question by adding output of lspci -knn | grep -i -A3 "wireless\|bluetooth\|network".

Also please add output of rfkill list.

If it shows Soft blocked: yes or Hard blocked: yes - try to unblock devices with rfkill unblock all.

Try to run Bluetooth Manager from System->Preferences->Hardware* (or blueman-manager command) and check adapter from Adapter->Preferences.

Also you can try to search around devices with Search button.
