Hello!
I have a Plugable USB-BT4LE adapter I’m repurposing for my HASS setup to add some connectivity functionality. HASS is running in a docker container on a linux machine. For some reason after I downloaded the applicable driver as indicated by running the below the mac address is coming back as all zeroes.
sudo dmesg|grep -1 bluetooth
To download the driver I ran the below command while navigated to /lib/firmware/brcm in terminal
sudo wget https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/blob/3b7cff924bd0280cd332be47fed32b0a00d002c6/brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e8.hcd
After doing this I rebooted and can no longer see the mac address as per the command(S) below.

After a couple hours I’m here hoping someone smarter than I with Linux can help me out. These are all being run on the host box, not from inside the docker container. When I try to add the integration I get the error below from hass.
