dear freebsd-bluetooth@ users, i'd like to request feedback/comments/etc. on a firmware downloader for atheros ar3011 based usb bluetooth devices. there are actually a couple of versions available: (1) kernel-based version. it includes a couple of kernel modules: one to hold firmware image and another to download it. it can be located at http://people.freebsd.org/~emax/ath3k.tar.gz (2) userspace-based version. basically it is a userspace tool that is invoked from devd(8) and uses libusb20(3) and ugen(4) interfaces to download the firmware. it can be located at http://people.freebsd.org/~emax/ath3kfw.tar.gz both seems to work for me. but, i'm leaning towards userspace option :) once again, options (1) and (2) are mutually exclusive, so, please, only try one at a time :) please take a look, try it out and let me know if it works. i'll probably commit something towards the end of the week. i also would like to thank Rusty Nejdl for donating hardware (ASUS USB-BT211 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320057 dongle). this dongle has an awesome form factor :) its pretty darn small :) thanks, max
