I am trying to enable Bluetooth but cannot get it working.
I am on DietPi v9.11.2
I have the following BT card installed: [Amazon.com: Orange Pi 5 Plus WiFi 6 Module Wireless Card 1201Mbps PCIe Wi-Fi6+BT5.2, Wireless Module R6 Support WiFi Bluetooth Compatible with Orange Pi 5 Plus Singble Board Computers : Electronics](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CFY7SJRN?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_8)
I have enabled BT via dietpi-config.
Running bluetoothctl I get the following:
```auto
bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# scan on
No default controller available
[bluetooth]#
```
Running systemctl start hciuar I get the following:
```auto
Failed to start hciuar.service: Unit hciuar.service not found.
```
Not sure where to go from here… Any help is appreciated.
