Finally, here's a usable program to enable bluetooth on P8P67.

How to install:
1) Download
2) Run terminal and change dir to your Downloads directory:

cd ~/Downloads

3) Unpack

tar zxf ath3k-firmware-uploader.tgz

4) Go to unpacked directory

cd ath3k-firmware-uploader

5) Install (will require admin rights)

sudo ./install

6) Shutdown, do power-off, power-on, and enjoy native bluetooth right from the start :)


This package installs to /Extra/ath3k-firmware-uploader, also it installs launchctl config to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/local.ath3k-firmware-uploader.plist and registers it with launchctl.

Feedback and testing on other P8P67 modifications (Pro, Deluxe) is welcome.
Hi drcrack
I have a ar3011 with vid 0x0930 & pid 0x0215
how can i use your mod?
Would you please make a uploader for me? Thx
EDIT:i replace the piv & vid with 0XED
but i got a error like this:
"Can't initiate firmware transfer"
anyone know how to fix it? :(

Did you see the source code?
viewtopic.php?p=117597#p117597


Code:
	if (libusb_control_transfer(devh, LIBUSB_REQUEST_TYPE_VENDOR, USB_REQ_DFU_DNLOAD, 
								0, 0, buf, 20, 10) < 0)
		error("Can't initiate firmware transfer");

So it looks like you made it recognize your BT, but it failed to initiate firmware transfer.

Why do you think that vid 0x0930 & pid 0x0215 correspond to Atheros 3011 device?
Do you have the same symptoms -- your bluetooth works after booting Windows or Linux first, but not if you start Mac Os at cold boot?

I will later check Linux driver source if it has something for these VID and PID, but if I remember correctly Atheros driver only handles VID==0x0CF3.

I read the source code.But i have no idea. :?
My Wifi Card is Ar9002wb chip. So i got an ar9285 802.11 b/g/n and an Ar3011 Buletooth.

Re: [Solved] Enabling Bluetooth on P8P67 * boards

Hi drcrack,

Great job on the bluetooth issue, but I have an P8P67-M B3 board and it doesn't work. Would you have any suggestions on how to get it working on this board.

Again thanks for all your help.

Jai-Dee

Does the D-Link and Best Buy BT dongles show a checkable box for "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" in the System Preferences > Bluetooth > Advanced window?

No, it's not checkable. This is with the DWL-122.
Found out that if you edit the IOBluetoothFamily.kext and add your Bluetooth prod id & vendor id to the Info.plist file, the Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer will be enabled.

Can you provide a detailed explanation of what to add EXACTLY in Info.plist? I have my VID and PID converted into DECIMAL and ready to go. Thanks!
 
Re: [Solved] Enabling Bluetooth on P8P67 * boards

Which method did you use to get it working? Sorry if this seem like a dumb question :? considering the length of this thread, but I have a Asus BT usb-211 also and it see's my iPhone but the iPhone doesn't see it.

Are you talking about built-in Atheros 3011 chip?
Could you please post how you did it in this thread? I tried that, but couldn't make it work ((
