Rusty, i've got something for you to test. could you please download fw driver package from http://people.freebsd.org/~emax/ath3k.tar.gz this package contains two drivers: 1) ath3k-1 -- driver to hold ath3k-1.fw image (obtained from fedora) 2) ubtath3kfw -- fw download driver you need to build both drivers from source. after you untar the package, please execute % make depend % make if everything goes well, you should have .ko files in both directories. please kldload both modules, i.e. # make -C ath3k-1/ load # make -C ubtath3kfw/ load then you need to load ng_ubt(4) module, i.e. # kldload ng_ubt now you should be able to attach your dongle and after few seconds ng_ubt(4) should pick it up, i.e. i have in my /var/log/messages Nov 8 16:46:02 beetle kernel: ugen2.2: <vendor 0x0cf3> at usbus2 Nov 8 16:46:02 beetle kernel: ubtath3kfw0: <vendor 0x0cf3 product 0x3000, rev 1.10/2.00, addr 2> on usbus2 Nov 8 16:46:03 beetle kernel: ugen2.2: <vendor 0x0cf3> at usbus2 (disconne= cted) Nov 8 16:46:03 beetle kernel: ubtath3kfw0: at uhub2, port 1, addr 2 (disconnected) Nov 8 16:46:06 beetle kernel: ugen2.2: <vendor 0x0cf3> at usbus2 Nov 8 16:46:06 beetle kernel: ubt0: <vendor 0x0cf3 product 0x3002, class 224/1, rev 1.10/0.01, addr 2> on usbus2 Nov 8 16:46:06 beetle root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x0cf3 product 0x3002 bus uhub2 after that you should be able to use it as regular bluetooth dongle. thank you very much for providing the hardware. please let me know if you need it back. thanks, max On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 2:54 PM, Rusty Nejdl <rnejdl@ringofsaturn.com> wrote= : > On Tue, 2 Nov 2010 14:29:06 -0700, Maksim Yevmenkin wrote: > > On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 2:18 PM, Rusty Nejdl <rnejdl@ringofsaturn.com> wro= te: > > On Tue, 2 Nov 2010 13:36:56 -0700, Maksim Yevmenkin wrote: > > Hello, > > I am trying to find a working bluetooth dongle or get the one I have > working.
