Re: bcm203x bluetooth dongle still does not work in kernel 2.6.27.6

Hi Ron,

  I have a couple of boxes that I'm using with (admittedly fairly old)
Tecon bluetooth devices using the BCM-2033 chipset, and I've been having
trouble with them since you switched to the workqueue. For quite some
time I applied the patch referred to in the message below, and that
worked, but it wouldn't apply on kernel 2.6.27. Rather than fix it, I
decided to try the kernel driver as-is, with patchy results. Sometimes
it works, sometimes it doesn't. The symptoms are the same as below: my
syslog says

Nov 19 12:38:45 rjmx kernel: firmware: requesting BCM2033-MD.hex
Nov 19 12:38:45 rjmx kernel: firmware: requesting BCM2033-FW.bin

  but nothing seems to happen: an 'lsusb' still gives

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0a5c:2033 Broadcom Corp. BCM2033 Bluetooth

  ... which is the wrong ID for a device that's had its firmware
properly loaded. The firmware files themselves seem to be readable, and in fact an 'ls -lut' gives me a "last access time" similar to the actual
time I tried plugging in the device.

I don't have the Tecon device and my BCM2033 is at home. So I can't tell you what's going on here. Play with the drivers source code. It is pretty simple.

Regards

Marcel
