I purchased a ASUS USB-BT211 [1] which is cheap but is not picked up by FreeBSD.

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 fir > >> uld have to test it (and likely to crash > 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
