# NAME

`bt3c` — 3Com Bluetooth PC Card driver

# SYNOPSIS

`bt3c* at pcmcia? function ?`

# DESCRIPTION

The `bt3c` driver provides support for the 3Com Bluetooth PC Card, model 3CRWB6096, to the Bluetooth protocol stack.

# FIRMWARE

This card needs firmware loaded before it will work. Due to copyright restrictions we cannot distribute the firmware with NetBSD, but if you have the card then you should have received a CD with the drivers on, or you may download the latest version from the 3Com website. Create a directory named `bt3c` in the search path of the firmload(9) kernel subsystem. Now, extract the driver archive and find the firmware file called `BT3CPCC.bin`, and place this file in the newly created directory. The firmware will be loaded automatically as needed.

# DIAGNOSTICS

bt3c%d: Cannot open firmware
  This will be printed to the console if the device cannot open the firmware file as described above.

bt3c%d: Antenna In
bt3c%d: Antenna Out
  If the kernel is compiled with the `DIAGNOSTIC` option, these messages will be produced on the console when the card antenna position is changed.

bt3c%d: sleeping
bt3c%d: waking up
  These messages will be produced when the card is enabled or disabled due to power change events.
