Maksim, Well, that didn't quite go right: [tethys]:/home/rnejdl/Downloads/ath3k> sudo make -C ath3k-1/ load /sbin/kldload -v /home/rnejdl/Downloads/ath3k/ath3k-1/ath3k-1.ko kldload: can't load /home/rnejdl/Downloads/ath3k/ath3k-1/ath3k-1.ko: Exec format error*** Error code 1 Stop in /home/rnejdl/Downloads/ath3k/ath3k-1.

I purchased a ASUS USB-BT211 [1] which is cheap but is not picked up by FreeBSD. All of the bluetooth devices mentioned on the website are not manufactured any more and I was hoping to be able to utilize something more recent. So, if anyone can recommend a recent device like the above or how I can assist in troubleshooting the device I purchased, I would appreciate any feedback. i assume that you have kldload(8)ed ng_ubt(4) driver, correct? if you did, and it still does not work, then could you please dump usb descriptor for the device? quick google search suggests that at least some of those adapters are based on atheros ar3011 chip (vendor/device id 0x0cf3/0x3000) , and require firmware download. basically, very similar to a certain broadcom chip, for which we have ubtbcmfw(4) driver. [...] thanks for the information Nov 2 16:08:02 tethys root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x0cf3 product 0x3000 bus uhub8 Nov 2 16:08:02 tethys kernel: ugen3.3: at usbus3 Which doesn't give me much. Doing a config dump: i disagree :) it gives you vendor/device id pair which is 0x0cf3/0x3000. in other words, your adapter is based on atheros ar3011 chip and will require a special (new) driver that would download firmware. ubtbcmfw(4) will not work, because its for broadcom chip. i only mentioned this because it would be similar, but not the same :) [...] So, any suggestions on where to go next? 1) need to write a special ubtathfw(4) driver; 2) obtain firmware (i assume it would be on a cd that came with the dongle); the good thing is that linux 2.6.33.7 kernel already has firmware driver, so, it makes it easier to port. i can probably take a stab at it, but, without device, you would have to test it (and likely to crash your machine several times :) are you up for it? thanks, max Max, Well, I have 3 different options: 1) Sure, I would be happy to test. 2) I am also testing out USB Pass through into VirtualBox and so can do some sandbox testing there. 3) I would be happy to order one and have it sent your way if you would like. Just let me know your address. Thanks! Rusty Nejdl Links: ------ [1] mailto:rnejdl@ringofsaturn.com [2] http://people.freebsd.org/~emax/ath3k.tar.gz [3] mailto:rnejdl@ringofsaturn.com
