8bitdo ultimate 3 wireless controller works on windows and on steamdeck but not bazzite
my wireless 8bitdo controller isn't even recognized by bazzite for some reason, does not appear with lsusb neither using the 2.4GHz dongle nor directly with type C cable
works flawlessly on steamdeck through a hub and on windows with the 2.4GHz dongle
I tried the front panel USB as well as directly on the MOBO (all the ports work for my wireless KB and mouse)
I don't even know what troubleshooting steps to do now... some assistance is very appreciated 🙂

after updating and rebooting it very very briefly showed 8bitdo controller in lsusb
but it disappeared and I'm still trying to replicate that
journalctl -f shows this:
this happens when connecting and disconnecting the dongle
unable to enumerate USB device is the last one before it pauses for a moment and continues to loop errors

the errors above seem to not occur when the dongle is connected to the red (USB 3.2 I believe) ports on the motherboard
and does not keep trying to connect constantly
I'm at the end of my rope, I have no idea what to try now...
I realize this doesn't necessarily help you, but my wired 8-bit Do only works right after it has been connected. As soon as it powers off for any reason, it has to be unplugged and reconnected before it will work again.
