Thank you for taking the time to contribute to FreeBSD! All issues resolved. |
"Qualcomm Atheros Communications Dell Wireless 1802 Bluetooth 4.0 LE" (0cf3:e006) is a wifi-bluetooth combo. The bluetooth chip is confirmed to be AR3012 compatible. That's what the Linux ath3k driver loads as well. It has been tested with the firmware files from the https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git repository as the comms/ath3k-firmware port appears to be discontinued.

@erikarn What do you say about the firmware loading race condition? |

This is a Wifi-Bluetooth combo. The bluetooth chip is confirmed to be AR3012 compatible. That's what the Linux ath3k driver loads as well.
It has been tested with the firmware files from the linux-firmware repository as the https://www.freshports.org/comms/ath3k-firmware/ port appears to be discontinued.
I got it to work both with a BT keyboard and a BLE mouse.
Currently I have to load the firmware after startup. The following devd clause does not work:
Afterwards, wifi wouldn't work properly.
Apparently it interferes with the wifi driver initialization (ath). ath is compiled into the generic 15.0-RELEASE-p5 kernel.
Perhaps the firmware file loading should be performed as part of an ath3k kernel module to avoid this kind of race condition.
