I found this page from the archlinux forums in this topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=133093&p=1
I wrote up the steps I took to get my card partially working in this post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1430884#p1430884 I say partially because I've only been able to stream music to some bluetooth speakers so far. My phone pairs, but I'm unable to do anything with it. I'm having a weird problem though. Using the tool posted in the archlinux topic I'm able to inject the firmware that I found in the windows driver, but things aren't working very well as I mentioned above, and I just noticed that I've done the same thing as the user in post #101, namely: usb-devices ----------------------------- T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=03 Cnt=03 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=ff(vend.)

This applies to at least BCM20702 and BCM43142. Although some of the devices have an OTPROM that contains required firmware, but it is found that these devices would not have HFP/HSP support unless a upgraded firmware is loaded via patchram uploader. This tool requires hci device to do the firmware loading, but this may cause some race condition between patchram tool and bluetoothd or something that also works on hci interface. Also it needs some hooks to make firmware loads after bootup, s3, s4, rfkill, and device hotplug events. Implement this loader in kernel module would make things more easier.
