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
