Topic: Unable to identify item to load drivers

Been assembling a new system. Successfully got XP Pro and XP Pro x64 installed but in Device Manager one item appears in Other devices > USB Device and selecting properties > Details I get: USB\VID_0CF3&PID_3000\6&79BEE0&0&6 - I pointed to the motherboard CD/DVD in the hope Driver > Update Driver could find the item. Did not happen. Also allowing Update Driver to search online failed too.

Tried a Google search on: USB\VID_0CF3&PID_3000\6&79BEE0&0&6 and had no luck with that either.

Can any of the driver geniuses I know are here tell me where to look and/or how to identify this item?

Please.

Thanks

Re: Unable to identify item to load drivers

I'm no 'driver genius'; the genuine Mensa alumni are the men & women that create these drivers and chips for the OEM's & VAR's.
  Your request is easy, though.  Just look up the latest USB HWid list from either http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids or the 'USBdevs.txt' file within SIV here http://rh-software.com/downloads/siv.zip & search for your VendorID (VID) specifically 0CF3, then cross-reference the ProductID (PID).  This yields an "Atheros Communications, Inc." & "AR3011 Bluetooth (no firmware)", respectively. big_smile  Product Brief

  Minimum requirement for licensing it w. Toshiba Bluetooth v9 is a USB\VID_0CF3&PID_3004 (Atheros HWid support seems to start with v9.00).

  Windows Update has a driver http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/ … ed001d0b44 accessible with IE (WHQL'ed for Win7-8 only), that indicates it to be  USB\VID_0CF3&PID_3000.DeviceDesc="Atheros Valkyrie BootROM".  Are there any Bluetooth devices in your DeviceManager?  use SIV or Microsoft USBView - USB Connection Viewer via an OEM http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities/usbview.zip

  I'm still a fan of XP & elated to see support continue through mid-decade.  Hardware access has it's advantages at times.

  Do you not find xp64 limiting, or is xp64's notoriety based upon issues that are long a thing of the past?   DP's is actively purging xp64 drivers from the NT5 side of things. hmm

Re: Unable to identify item to load drivers

Well, USB\VID_0CF3 is "Atheros".  Do you have a USB WiFi adapter?

Re: Unable to identify item to load drivers

Thanks guys for the information. The new motherboard has bluetooth built in and one of the rear panel connectors is for a bluetooth device. Now that I know what it is I'll have to try to see why the drivers were not automatically installed when I ran the motherboard CD.

Will be back later.

Re: Unable to identify item to load drivers

Thanks; issue resolved.

Checked the motherboard CD and found a Bluetooth folder which included the Atheros Bluetooth Suite. I ran the installation and it installed the Suite and the drivers (which were not in a separate drivers folder and which explains why a search by the Windows driver installation routine failed to find an INF file).

Now that I know what it is I can uninstall the software and disable the Bluetooth function in the BIOS. I don't have any kind of a Bluetooth device and I do not plan on acquiring one anytime soon.

Thanks again.

Re: Unable to identify item to load drivers

Feb 09 I downloaded the DriverPack Donator bar JPG file - will someone please tell me how I include it when I ask a question or post an answer. As many times as I've made comments here I've  failed to find the method by which I can do that.

Thanks

Re: Unable to identify item to load drivers

It's in your Profile.  Just include the image's web-address in your signature with [ i m g ] [ / i m g ] less the spaces.  : )

Re: Unable to identify item to load drivers

Understand my profile; have no idea as to meaning of "Just include the image's web-address in your signature with ..."

The image has no web address - is is the same image as yours posted above: Driverpacks.net tester excpet is says donator and is a JPG file.

Re: Unable to identify item to load drivers

I took care of it for you Chief.  I selected the Air Force Blue one. wink

Re: Unable to identify item to load drivers

Mr_Smartepants;

Thanks - I went and checked my profile and I see that it is in the signature block.  So, given that I peruse other forums and I really would like to know how it's done - what did you really do? I'm assuming my having a copy of the JPG file here was erroneous thinking on my part as to how I add it to my profile.

Re: Unable to identify item to load drivers

I picked the userbar from this page: http://driverpacks.net/userbars
Copied the link, then pasted it with "IMG" tags like so:
