Hi!
It seems that Bluetooth adapter and Webcam from my Samsung Series 5
ultrabook stopped working after upgrading from Bullseye to Bookworm.
It's an old NP530U3B-AD1BR. Bluetooth is a Centrino Advanced-N 6230 and
Webcam is a WebCam SC-13HDL11431N.
It'd be great if someone could point where I can start searching on how
to solve this.
Thanks in advance

Have you enabled non-free-firmware in /etc/apt/sources.list? If you
read the release notes, they should give you good enough instructions.
If you have not, and the release notes aren't sufficient, ask again
here.
If you have already done that, then I'm not sure I can help.

I did not use bt in a very long time but i remember back then it really helped when i installed blueman. It will install the necessary subsystem dependencies too.

Hi!
I appreciate very much your effort to help. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Installing blueman on my system didn't bring any additional library and didn't bring back my bluetooth device.

files?
Is /lib a symlink to /usr/lib? If so, do you have /usr on a separate
partition that gets mounted by the initrd?
After booting, does the output of lsmod contain iwlwifi?
Does «modprobe -r iwlwifi» followed by «modprobe iwlwifi» fix it?

Just to be sure, does /lib/firmware contain a number of iwlwifi-*.ucode

You need to unconfigure wi-fi interface to unload the module.

This is just a guess.
Since this is a pretty old chip.
It is still listed here:
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi#supported_devices
but maybe they've thrown out support for this chip in the newer kernel/iwlwifi version.
At least, i can not find it listed in my debian 'trixie' package:
# apt-cache show firmware-iwlwifi
Package: firmware-iwlwifi
Source: firmware-nonfree
Version: 20230210-5
(.... long list ...)
* There should be a 'dmesg' notification from the bluetooth subsystem, if the chip was detected but not supported. Grep for 'bluetooth' or 'iwlwifi'.
* You could try to boot into the old kernel which was active before the upgrade (if that's still installed) and see it it makes a difference.
* You could also try downgrading iwlwifi and firmware-linux and if that works, put these packages on 'hold'.

You can always grab a kernel from bullseye. Usually snapshot.debian.org
also keeps all versions of all packages, but lately that service has
been down.
Usually you can find info about what packages were upgraded in
/var/log/apt/history* and /var/log/aptitude*. The aptitude logs are a
little easier to tell what happened, but the aptitude logs are specific
to aptitude, whereas the apt logs give info about any action where a
front-end like aptitude or apt uses the apt backend.
