[Bluez-users] i-Tec Bluetooth USB dongle

[Rudolf Matousek <matousek@utia.cas.cz>]

Hi,

I've recently purchased i-Tec USB dongle. Before the purchase, I checked 
that the dongle is supported by linux Bluez.

Unfortunatelly, the dongle I purchased has different chipset from the 
dongle announced as functional. The chipset is Broadcom with Vendor Id: 
0a5c and Product Id: 200a.

The USB view detects three peripherals after dongle insertion:

  1) Wireless Transceiver for Bluetooth (marked red)
  2) usbkbd
  3) mouse

The detail of the usbview data of the transceiver is attached at the end 
of this email. I tried to use bluefw with the broadcom 2033 firmware. 
Unfortunatelly, I was not able to force the hotplug support to execute 
the bluefw script. I probably somehow missed the meaning of the 
bluefw.usermap file. I inserted one more line with flags 0x0000, and 
vendor and product Ids according to the usbview. With no success.

I also noticed that a file modules.usbmap (in /lib/modules/<kernel no> 
directory) also contains vendor and product IDs to load suitable driver.
It seems that all required modules are loaded correctly.

NOW, my questions: Is there a chance to force this i-Tec donge to work 
with Bluez? Do I need a new firmware binaries from Broadcom? Why the 
hotplug support does not execute bluefw?

Any help is welcome! Cheers,


Ruda Matousek
