Debian 6 with Atheros 3011 ath3k USB Bluetooth Dongle

I picked up a USB Asus Bluetooth dongle from Fry's, and found that it didn't work on my Debian 6 amd64 box.

Here's how to get it working:

Grab the firmware:

$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git

Copy the ath3k firmware to /lib/firmware:

$ sudo cp linux-firmware/ath3k-1.fw /lib/firmware

Grab compat-wireless:

$ wget http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6-stable/v2.6.39/compat-wireless-2.6.39-rc1-3-s.tar.bz2

Compile compat-wirless:

$ tar jxfv  http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6-stable/v2.6.39/compat-wireless-2.6.39-rc1-3-s.tar.bz2
$ cd compat-wireless-2.6.39-rc1-3-s
$ make
$ sudo make install

Plug in your USB dongle, and see if it works:

$ sudo hciconfig

You should see something like:
