Raspberry Pi3+ - bluetooth not working

Some days ago I've found my old Raspberry Pi3+ and decided to play a little bit with it. First step was to flash to the SD card newest Kali. I've did it with balena Etcher flasher and it booted like a charm.

After a while I've realized that bluetooth is not working. Nothing was found:(

I've enabled bluetooth service and hciuaart:

modprobe btusb  # add the btusb module to the kernel 

systemctl enable bluetooth.service

systemctl enable hciuart 

But still nothing...

But then I've checked /boot/config.txt and edited lines in the following way:

# Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces

dtparam=i2c_arm=off

#dtparam=i2s=on

dtparam=spi=off

dtoverlay=miniuart-bt

And now it is working.
For Pi4 use
dtoverlay=pi4-enable-bt
