Aw man, I tried.  I really tried.  Look here:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=31657125&forum_id=1883

Didn't I try?  Yes, I tried.  And it didn't bloody help, did it?

aeon:~# hciconfig hci0 revision
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8
        HCI 18.2.1
        Chip version: BlueCore3-ROM
        Max key size: 128 bit
        SCO mapping:  HCI

There it is, in black and white.  It's the ROM version.  I guess a
DN-3008M1 really is completely different to a DN-3008.  That or New
Zealand websites are evil and shouldn't be trusted.

So OK, maybe you can tell me.  I would like to buy a USB Bluetooth
dongle that does the HID proxy thing, preferably 2.0, preferably class
1.  Do you know where I might be able to buy such a thing?

And also: boot parameter?  Do you mean a Linux boot parameter or another
setting that goes on the flash of the dongle?  Because if it's the
former, that would invalidate the whole point of HID proxy, wouldn't it?
