It can probably be done for other versions, this is the only one I have. What I did... I did a search and found this posting after searching on ar3011 linux:

    http://groups.google.com/group/linux...8ec86?lnk=raot

    I cut the code listed in the posting for ath3k.c and pasted it to a file with the same name. Then I removed all the leading plus signs from the code that were added by diff. I then created a simple Makefile and Kbuild for the ath3k module. Then I did a make followed by a make install. Of course, you all ready have to have your machine set up for building modules before doing the make commands. I then did a modprobe ath3k and then did a dmesg and actually saw the Atheros Bluetooth asking for firmware. I couldn't believe it.

    I searched on the net and couldn't find any firmware. I went to my Windows machine popped in the AT3N7A-I Support DVD, ran \Drivers\BlueTooth\Vista32\setup.exe on the DVD, I clicked OK to pick my language, then I went to my temp folder while setup was still running and found the Bluetooth Vista Suite.msi that had been unpacked, then I opened the MSI with 7-zip, then I opened Data1.cab and extracted atherosbt.bin from the cab. I then renamed atherosbt.bin to ath3k-1.fw and copied it to the /lib/firmware folder on Mythbuntu.

    I removed the module with modprobe -r ath3k and added it back with modprobe ath3k. Everything came up, I was shocked. Then I edited /etc/modules and added ath3k so that I have it after every reboot.

    I'm now happily using my WII controller without an extra Bluetooth dongle.

    I've attached the source files that I used to build the module. I haven't included the firmware since I didn't know if that's legal to distribute. I couldn't find an answer on the web if it was redistributable or not.
    thanks for the hint! haven't been checking the thread for a while. i just took the patch again and applied it to my kernel sources (2.6.32). afterwards i compiled the module into the kernel. i did that before, but didn't find any useable firmware. but your hint did it! just copied the extracted firmware and everything was immediately up && running after the next reboot.

    the driver is now included in the 2.6.33 kernel sources.

    sorry, can't help you at this point. i'm a 99% gentoo user.
    i just checked the ubuntu repos in my vm. seems like there's no 2.6.33 kernel available. but i'm pretty sure there are ways to install it nevertheless. i'd check the forums.

    I am trying to use prevoj's method to install the BT firmware, but I get

    HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
    HOSTCC scripts/basic/docproc
    HOSTCC scripts/basic/hash
    HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o

    when I run the make command. Could there be something else I need to compile this file?

    Re: Bluetooth driver Asus AT3N7A-I NVidia ION Ubuntu 9.04

    Hey dudes,

    I've had the same problem with bluetooth in ubuntu 9.10. After some headaches, I've finally decided to try Windows7, to give it a try. But it was a bad decision. Windows is windows, and that's why I left it some years ago. Full of crap, unstable (explorer crashed 3 times in an hour), slow, and hard to find things and tools when you're familiarized with gnome and terminal.

    So I decided to get back to ubuntu and try to find another solution for the bluetooth. The funny thing is, when I installed Windows7 I installed the AT3N7A-I bluetooth drivers from Asus website. And that was enough for Ubuntu to make Bluetooth work when I reinstalled it. Ubuntu just detected the bluetooth hardware and configured it just like any other device, so it was available when installation finished.

    I guess when you install windows drivers it uplaods the firmware to the bluetooth hardware and it remains there. So then you can make a linux fresh install and it will work flawlessly.

    I tried to pair a bluetooth device and Ubuntu detected it perfectly.

    So I wanted to share my experience. If you have problems extracting the frmware and using the guide on this thread, just another method:

    1-Install windows (I guess any version should do the work.
    2-Install the bluetooth driver from the disc or downloaded fron the Asus website.
    3-Bye bye windows, make a fresh Ubuntu install, you can delete completely the windows partition.
    4-Ubuntu will detect and install the bluetooth dongle with no problems.

    I don't know if this was obvious to you or not, but it surprised me, so here it is.

    Anyways I have to solve my Audio problem yet. Any ideas? I'm using the analog 3,5mm jack cable and it works ok, but it makes a "crack" "plop" noise when I play a movie, boot ubuntu, play a music file... it's just on the beggining, then it plays fine. Anyways I'll try to install latest alsa package when I get home, but dunno if any of you had the same problem and solved it updating alsa?

    cya.
