Hello,

can you tell us exactly what broadcom adapter you have?

bluetooth usb adapters based on boardcom BCM2033 chip require firmware 
download. due to copyright restrictions firmware is not shipped with 
freebsd. you have to get it elsewhere.

also make sure you have loaded all required drivers. ng_ubt(4) should 
support most of the bluetooth usb devices.

ubtbcmfw(4) is a special driver that should be used together with 
bcmfw(8) utility to download firmware to the BCM2033 chip based 
bluetooth dongles.

so, kldload ng_ubt, kldload ubtbcmfw and then plug your adapter and 
check /var/log/messages.

finally,

thanks,
