Subject: [Bluez-users] Key step in bluetonium setup, bcm203x does not load firmware
Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2004 07:11:08 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040902141108.99034.qmail@web52807.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

I would like to know if you have instructions on
getting the bluetonium to work with linux.  I have
searched a lot of places and I know exactly what the
problem is.  It is bet summarized in sourceforge as
follows:
"
The Broadcom Blutonium devices need a firmware
download before they will work like any other H:2
compatible Bluetooth USB device. The bcm203x requests
the firmware files BCM2033-MD.hex and BCM2033-FW.bin
and loads them into the device. After this procedure
the device will disconnect from the USB bus and
reconnects as a standard H:2 device which will be
recognized by the hci_usb driver. The firmware files
are distributed in the bluez-firmware package.

An alternate way of loading the firmware onto such a
device is the bcm203x program from the bluez-utils
package, because the bcm203x kernel driver is only a
Linux 2.6 feature. It is necessary to install hotplug
for this. 
"

I installed bluez-firmware-1.0 and bluez-utils-2.9,
however, the problem is not fixed.  When I look at
/proc/bus/usb/devices the bluetonium chip is listed
but sure enough, it does not load the usb_hci module.

Any help?
