Description : Support for a specific kind of Atheros AR3011
bluetooth device (DKMS)
AR3011 (with VID:PID as 0cf3:3002) is an Atheros bluetooth device,
however there
are two kinds of AR3011, one of them can be supported by the
ath3k/btusb provided
by the kernel, but the other cannot. As they cannot be distinguished solely by
their VID:PID, users who have the inoperative AR3011 has to install
this package.
.
See the following two URLs for why it cannot be fixed in the kernel:
http://launchpad.net/bugs/714862
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27402
.
This driver should only be used if you find that your AR3011 bluetooth device
doesn't work out-of-the box using the ath3k/btusb driver provided by
the kernel.
.
This package provides the dkms source code for btusb and a firmware loader.
Kernel source or headers are required to compile these modules.
