bettercap doesn't have the ble module

[podunkin]

I would like to use the ble.recon module available in bettercap so I installed the bettercap package and the bettercap-caplets package. The problem is that I don't see the ble module available when I start bettercap and type help. I just see these modules:

The ble module is not available. Do I need to install the ble module separatly? Or am I missing some type of configuration settting? Or could this be a hardware issue (bettercap only loads modules that are have supported hardware)? The ble section on the bettercap website didn't say anything about any separate installation for this module. I'm running the latest version of Kali 2022.2 64bit virtual machine (for virtualbox) which I got from the torrent in the downloads section. Thanks for your help.

bluetooth wireless support is typically included with the wireless adapter chipset, you dont have the wireless module running..
could also be a driver issue for bluetooth chipset of course..

Apparently there is a bug in Kali repo, to get ble.recon work you need to compile bettercap from sources, this way:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install golang git build-essential libpcap-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libnetfilter-queue-dev
git clone https://github.com/bettercap/bettercap.git
cd bettercap
make build
sudo make install
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/bettercap/caplets.git
cd caplets
sudo make install
cd ..
sudo bettercap

This is from bettercap github issues:
