Thanks all for the replies. I was wanting to do this with the existing bluetooth module and through software only. I read on this site about “dracut”.
Following Please try out dracut and the specification [Spec] Switch to Dracut we are going to support Dracut as alternative to initramfs-tools as initrd generation tool in Ubuntu 25.04 (plucky). We want to make Dracut the default in the following Ubuntu 25.10.
We are considering replacing initramfs-tools by Dracut as initrd generation tool in future Ubuntu releases.
Ubuntu 24.10 (oracular) ships a dracut version that should work on all machines and in most cases.
If you have machines running with Ubuntu 24.10 (oracular) and are comftable with the instructions below, we like to ask you to test Dracut on your machines. If you run into issue, please report them against dracut . If it works for you, you can report the success on this post.
I saw, on another site, a method of installing the bluetooth module using dracut so that it would be available for the encryption login screen. I’m still on Ubuntu 22.04 so I will look into upgrading my OS and see what I can do with that. I’ll update with any success here.
