is device recognized at all? i assume it presents itself as usb
device. if its the case ugen(4) should attach to it. do you see any
ugen(4) related messages? what does usbconfig(8) output look like?

also, if you put ng_ubt_load="YES" in your loader.conf you dont need
to manually call rc.bluetooth start ubt0. when bluetooth device is
recognized, devd(8) will automatically call rc.bluetooth and will
start everything.

i assume you mean ubtbcmfw(4). if so, then no, its not. ubtbcmfw(4) is
a firmware driver for bcm2033 chips.

lets start and see if card is recognized at all, i.e. ugen(4) should
be attaching to all usb devices by default.

thanks,
