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?

the /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware was the old place for firmware files and
we came to the conclusion that putting them into /lib/firmware is much
better. The Debian Sarge/Sid and the upcoming SuSE 9.2 support both
directories, so it is a problem of the hotplug package of your
distribution.

Luiz,
You are completely right. I followed your instructions and my Broadcom Bluetonium (bcm203x module) based chip is working. I hope I did not gloss over any section of information although I am almost positive that I did not. Anyways, any one having this problem has to simply download bluez-firmware and copy the broadcom files onto /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware.
Thank you so much.

We had the some problem here (but the device is different).
On our setup, we copied the firmware files to:
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
and reloaded the kernel module.
I'm not certain if it is the right thing to do, but
it worked.
Hope it helps,
