hello,
somebody gave me an old macmini and a bluetooth keyboard.
I don't know anything about bluetooth.
I'd like to use the keyboard with buster because the wired keyboard
wire is
not long enough.
I got a usb bluetooth dongle (whatever they are called)
The kernel seems to see it from dmesg

That's not a bluetooth keyboard. That's a Logitech proprietary
dongle wireless keyboard. Nothing wrong with that.
Since the kernel sees it as a HID (human interface device), it
should be a keyboard already.
what to do to enable the adapter and get keyboard working ?
It should be working. If you're in X, maybe you don't have
permissions to use /dev/input/* ? Put yourself in the input
group.
