so I really need the btmon traces from the device init (so unload and reload the module) and we need to see what commands are supported and what commands are failing.
Since you say this is on a MacBook, I assume this is an UART based Broadcom chip. Sometimes Broadcom has been really flaky with their actually implemented commands. However in some cases firmware updates do fix this. So any chance you can boot OS X and check that the latest firmware is loaded.
