I did:

# usbconfig list | grep 0xe056
ugen0.3: <vendor 0x0489 product 0xe056> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (100mA)

# ./ath3kfw -D -d ugen0.3 -I
ath3kfw: opening dev 0.3
ath3k_is_3012: found AR3012
main: state=0x0e
ROM version: 285343744, build version: 155, ram version: 155, ref clock=1
ath3kfw: ath3k_fw_read: open: /usr/share/firmware/ath3k//ar3k/AthrBT_0x11020000.dfu: No such file or directory
ath3k_load_patch: ath3k_fw_read() failed
Loading patch file failed

The ROM version: 285343744 does not look like something meaningful,
maybe the tool reads the wrong place.

Which file I should use from ath3k/share/firmware/ath3k
# ls -C1
ar3k
ath3k-1.fw
LICENCE.atheros_firmware

below ar3k/ are a lot more files ....

As I said, I need this C720 for real work and can't risk to brick the
chip. I have another C720 at home collecting dust which still runs
ChromeOS. I will prepare an USB key to boot from and use this for test.
Please give me some days.
