I have one of these in my notebook:
uhub4: <Broadcom BCM2046B1, class 9/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 5> on usbus0
This is a bluetooth device in HID mode, but I'd like to switch it to
HCI mode. I found the following in rc.conf(5):
ubthidhci_enable
(bool) If set to ``YES'', change the USB Bluetooth controller
from HID mode to HCI mode. You also need to specify the
location of USB Bluetooth controller with the
ubthidhci_busnum and ubthidhci_addr variables.
ubthidhci_busnum
Bus number where the USB Bluetooth controller is located.
Check the output of usbconfig(8) on your system to find this
information.
ubthidhci_addr
Bus address of the USB Bluetooth controller. Check the out-
put of usbconfig(8) on your system to find this information.
So I added the appropriate directives to /etc/rc.conf, to no avail:
ubthidhci_enable="YES"
ubthidhci_busnum="0"
ubthidhci_addr="5"
This basically calls usbconfig(8) at system start-up in the following way:
/usr/sbin/usbconfig -u 0 -a 5 do_request 0x40 0 0 0 0 > /dev/null 2>&1
Running this command manually, I see this output:
REQUEST = <ERROR>
...which I've read as potentially being OK, as the operation still may
have successfully completed -- it hasn't :(
So, has anyone had any luck using this rc.conf(5) directive, or does
anyone on this list have a modified usbconfig(8) command that may help
me coax HCI from this device?
