The AirDrop on my MacBook Pro (Late 2011) doesn't have a "Allow me to be discovered by" option

The AirDrop on my MacBook Pro used to work before I updated my OS to OS X El Capitan. It doesn't have any options nor does it show any devices (mine nor the devices of my friends) with the AirDrop on. How do I fix it? 😟User uploaded file
