To find out the index of the wireless device that you want to enable, open a [[root terminal|doc/first_steps/welcome_screen/administration_password#open_root_terminal]], and execute the following command:
0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 2: gps0: GPS Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no
The device index is the number that appears at the beginning of the three lines describing each device. In this example, the index of the Bluetooth device is 1, while the index of the GPS device is 2. Yours are probably different.
To enable the wireless device, `execute` the following command in the root terminal, replacing <span class="command-placeholder">index</span> with the index found at step 2:
0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 2: gps0: GPS Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no
To use Bluetooth in Tails nonetheless, you have to [[set up an administration password at boot time|doc/first_steps/welcome_screen/administration_password]] and install the `gnome-bluetooth` package.
