dmesg shows:

  ubt0: <Broadcom USB Bluetooth Dongle, class 224/1, rev 1.10/0.01, addr 2> on usbus6

usbconfig dump_device_desc shows:

No, I don't dual boot anything. I have never loaded firmware - maybe it happened automatically in the past, but I've never used ubtbcmfw explicitly.

Thanks for your help,
