Hello. I am trying to get an ath3k-based USB bluetooth adapter working.
I previously had this adapter working under FreeBSD, several years ago
(FreeBSD-8 or FreeBSD-9 timeframe); but it doesn't seem to work now on my
current FreeBSD-12 box. After loading the firmware, it is not detected by
ng_ubt.
The card is an ASUS USB-BT211, and shows up as vendor 0x0cf3 product
0x3000.
Attempts to use the ath3kfw utility fail:
# ath3kfw -D -d ugen1.4 -f /usr/local/share/ath3k-firmware -I
ath3kfw: opening dev 1.4
ath3k_get_state: libusb_control_transfer() failed: code=-4
main: ath3k_get_state() failed!
However, the old kernel-based firmware loader
(https://people.freebsd.org/~emax/) still seems to work. After building
and loading ath3k-1.ko and ubtath3kfw.ko and inserting my card, I get:
ugen1.4: <vendor 0x0cf3 product 0x3000> at usbus1
ubtath3kfw0 on uhub5
ubtath3kfw0: <vendor 0x0cf3 product 0x3000, rev 1.10/2.00, addr 4> on
usbus1
ugen1.4: <vendor 0x0cf3 product 0x3000> at usbus1 (disconnected)
ubtath3kfw0: at uhub5, port 2, addr 4 (disconnected)
ubtath3kfw0: detached
ugen1.4: <vendor 0x0cf3 product 0x3002> at usbus1
The switch from 0x3000 to 0x3002 seems to indicate that the card is, in
fact, loading the firmware correctly.
However, when I load ng_ubt.ko, it does not seem to detect the card, and
no ubt0 device ever shows up.
The machine is an amd64 box, running 12.1-STABLE; the card is plugged into
a USB2 port, though the machine does have a USB3 controller as well.
Please let me know what other info I can provide or what I can try to help
figure out why the card is not being detected correctly by the ng_ubt
driver.
It would also be nice to figure out why the user-space firmware loader
consistently fails but the old kernel-based firmware loader consistently
succeeds; but as long as there's a method to load the firmware at all,
this is less urgent.
Thanks.
