Re: Activating Bluetooth on intel AX200,AX201,AX210 modules

Hi Björn
#1 running Current -15 updated on 12:th of july from github
sources, on this laptop.
#2 yes, I have an 0x0026 entry in
/usr/src/sys/netgraph/bluetooth/drivers/ubt/ng_ubt_intel.c:
#3 If I issue iwmbtf install command 4 times
consecutively the "service bluetooth start ubt0 " command
appears to work ,
hccontrol commands appear to run,
btsockstat runs
# usbconfig show_ifdrv says:
ugen0.6: <AX201 Bluetooth Intel Corp.> at usbus0, cfg=0
md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (100mA)
* ugen0.6.0: ubt0: <vendor 0x8087 product 0x0026, class 224/1, rev
2.01/0.02, addr 5>*
* device is available*
SO is the conclusion that the AX201 BT module needs to be
wacked on the head 4 times to bother waking up ?
shouldnt device initialization at system startup take care
of that, ´?
I dont have a bluetooth mouse with me presently but will
try one next week .
