I really wonder how I can enjoy the bug fixes. The D-Link dongle DBT-120 (Rev B3) can be updated using the Apple firmware update file. After that it will be HCI 18.1 with default boot mode set to HID. Maybe other revisions of the D-Link dongle don't work and I already put some of dongles to death while playing with firmware upgrade. > P.S. : Marcel, do you have a version of btdfu that can write the > firmware image to the dongle ? Or some documentation ? I never announced the new version of the btdfu, but now as you asked for it, here it is: http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/btdfu-0.3.tar.gz Use it at your own risk, because you can kill your dongle !!! Read what the CSR guys had written about signed firmware and that it is not possible to move firmware from one manufacturer to another !!!
