We are talking about a driver for the Xbox One wireless adapter.

Microsoft never submitted a kernel driver for this, it's a third party module. It's not Bluetooth - it's WiFi, using a proprietary blob for authentication.

Not a single one of your claims in this entire thread have been correct.

It’s not Bluetooth - it’s WiFi, using a proprietary blob for authentication.

You've literally missed my whole point.

Playstation link is this exact same thing, and btw, both controllers are dual-mode bluetooth and "high-speed wireless interface", which is basically wifi or wifi-direct or some proprietary variant.

My point is, why isn't it like Playstation link which just presents as HID devices and usb-audio devices, without a driver at all? Same low-latency, they even do LDAC.
