Great.... Turns out the maker of the chipsets for this bluetooth device is............. Broadcom

Well, its nice to know that its a good bluetooth chip, but I need to be able to extract the firmware using the bluefw command and what not which I 've yet to figure out. I need the firmware for a BCM2045A chip. How do I extract the firmware??

Out of curiosity, I know this is a shot in the dark, but this is a so called "wireless device" so I wonder if ndiswrapper would work?? I doubt it but maybe some outside opinions would be nice for whether or not I put in the effort to try. any suggestions??
