[Bluez-users] FW: bt3c_cs Module & bluez-bluefw

Good afternoon,
I am writing to enquire about an issue I'm having, it is as follows. I
have a Sony Vaio Laptop (VGN-B1XP) with Ubuntu Linux installed
(2.6.10-5-386) and a 3Com Bluetooth Card (3CRWB6096), I have installed
all of the bluez utilities and unzipped the firmware file from 3Com
(BT3CPCC.bin), when i insert the card i get the following error is
dmesg: 
 
bt3c_open: Firmware request failed 
bt3c_interrupt: Call if irq 3 for unknown device
 
And in syslog:
 
kernel: cs: pcmcia_socket: unable to supply power
cardmgr[6912]: socket 0: 3Com Bluetooth PC Card
cardmgr[6912]: executing: 'modprobe bt3c_cs'
kernel: bt3c_open: Firmware request failed 
kernel: bt3c_interrupt: Call if irq 3 for unknown device
cardmgr[6912]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily
unavailable
 
It seems to me that the issue is that bt3c_cs cannot find the firmware
file, although i have tried everywhere noted on the net. I have also
tried changing the reference in bt3c_cs from BT3CPCC.bin to /T3CPCC.bin
and dropping that file in the system root.
 
I think its looking (for the firmare) somewhere specific to Ubuntu but i
can't find where.
 
If you have any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
 
Andy Jones

check out http://www.bluez.org/drivers.html and make sure that you
installed the hotplug package and that firmware.agent is present.

Marcel,
I have posted my issue to both the Ubuntu forum and to Bluez. I can't
see anything on that page about either the hotplug or firmware.agent,
can you point me in the right direction for these? All I think I need is
the location bt3c_cs looks for the firmware on Ubuntu??
Thanks for your help on this and thankyou for your time developing this
module.
Andy

I don't see your problem. Do "apt-get install hotplug" and put the
firmware in the correct place on your local filesystem.

Marcel,
Hotplug has always been installed, the firmware is in /lib/firmware and
I'm still getting the below error.
I think it's looking at the wrong directory for the firmware, are there
any ways to debug what's happening?
If you have any other suggestions they would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy

since Ubuntu is Debian based there should no problem unless they changed
something in the hotplug package. Check if /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent
exists and in what directories it expects the firmware file. Also check
that your firmware file is really present and is not a zero size file.

Marcel

Marcus,
The directories within firmware.agent are different for Debian based
OS's, as soon as I put the firmware in one of the listed dir's, reloaded
the module it works fine.
Thankyou for your help.

this is a bug, because /lib/firmware/ is the official directory. I know
that, because I made the final decision for it.
